This grand avenue in Marseille, stretching from the bustling Canebière to the tranquil Rue Devilliers, carries more than just the echoes of footsteps. It whispers tales of transformation, of names changed and legacies forged. Cours Franklin Roosevelt. Once known as Cours Pommier, then Cours Devilliers, after a local lawyer, Jean-Baptiste de Villiers de Saint-Savournin, the street’s identity shifted with the tides of history. It finally found its current name, honoring the 32nd US President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Imagine standing here, at the foot of this inclined avenue. Feel the gentle slope beneath your feet, mirroring the rise of Roosevelt’s influence on the world stage. At the very start of Cours Franklin Roosevelt stands a silent sentinel, the Église Saint-Vincent-de-Paul. Its neo-Gothic spires reach towards the sky, a stark contrast to the bustling city below. This church, fondly nicknamed “Les Réformés” by locals, holds its own fascinating stories. Further up, at the corner of Impasse Croix-de-Régnier, discover the former residence of Gaston Castel. Cours Franklin Roosevelt isn’t merely a street. It’s a journey through time, a testament to the power of names and the enduring spirit of Marseille. As you walk its length, remember the whispers of history, the echoes of Pommier, Devilliers, and finally, the resounding legacy of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
