Gare Saint-Charles Steps

Go from boulevard d’Athènes to the station esplanade via a monumental staircase of 104 steps. Along the landings, look at the lions, sculptural groups and decorations depicting Marseille’s port and colonial identity in the early 20th century. From the top, the view opens out over the city. This visit covers the outdoor staircase, which has a significant change in elevation.
