The Palais du Pharo is a 19th-century imperial palace overlooking the Old Port and the Fort Saint-Jean, converted into a congress venue combining a historic building and a contemporary extension. It is among the few Marseille venues combining a conference programme with a sea-view setting.
The Marseille tourism office quotes about 7,000 m² of seminar and congress space, with an auditorium of 900 seats and an exhibition hall of 1,800 m². Room counts and detailed capacities are not given in the sources consulted; confirm the configuration with the venue.
It is well suited to executive conventions, seminars and receptions where the setting matters as much as the plenary room, with the Old Port and MuCEM within a short drive.
Access
On the Pharo hill above the Old Port, around 10 minutes by car from the Vieux-Port and 15 to 20 minutes from Saint-Charles station. Marseille Provence airport is about 30 minutes by car.
