“Splendid Église”

Jun 2024

On our way to Fort St Jean we walked up the Escalier Jean-Paul Chaix-Kohler and this lovely building caught our eye. Hadn’t planned to visit and unfortunately it was closed when we walked past. Splendid nonetheless.

“NUMEROUS VISITS BUT ALWAYS CLOSED”

Oct 2022

Unfortunately I found it hard to find this church open even though I walked past it around four times in three days. I can therefore only comment on it with regard to it's exterior. It has wonderful old stonework with a steeple to it's front and a dome at the rear. It's worth trying to find it open as it's directly opposite a fabulous large veranda that overlooks the harbour

A church

Aug 2019

Eglise Saint-Laurent is located on a site which is full of history. It is close to the Fort Saint Jean. Archaeological excavations have unearthed evidence indicating that there was an ancient Greek temple on the site, probably worshipping the god Apollo. Marseille was originally founded by ancient Greek settlers, and this explains the Greek temple. The present building is nothing to be excited about, apart from its historical significance through the ages.

My Visit

Oct 2022

A small building near Fort Saint-Jean, which is impressive and beautiful. I didn't visit inside and just stopped by.

Across from Fort St. Jean

Nov 2019

Church of Saint-Laurent is directly across from Fort St-Jean and over looks the port. This Catholic church has been a fisherman’s parish since the 1100s.

Boring

Jun 2018 • Couples

Yes, it is the oldest church in Marseille. But, for me, it was boring. Nothing to see from the outside. Nothing to see from the inside. I didn't skip it only because my apartment was 15 meters away.

Not bad for 600 years old

Apr 2018 • Family

This church is a little under 600 years old and for me in some respects more impressive than the modern cathedral, as the effort to build it in this location at that time is to be respected

Small but really Nice

Oct 2016 • Couples

We stopped at this Church during a wedding and as soon as everyone left we jumped in to enjoy the beauties of it.

incredible

Sep 2015 • Couples

Went for a stroll in the Old Town and ended up at the museum where there was the most amazing show of modern/futuristic/science fiction art. Wonderful experience within walking distance of the waterfront.

Not to be missed 🤩🤩🤩

Dec 2023 • Friends

Very beautiful Provençal Romanesque style church (12th/13th century) with an impressive exterior and an extremely simple interior. Built on a hillock, it offers the visitor a superb panorama of the sea and ND de la Garde.
