Once a simple route known as the route de Saint-Julien, Avenue de Saint-Julien now pulsates with commercial energy. Avenue de Saint-Julien is located in the 12th arrondissement of Marseille, nestled between the lively districts of Saint-Barnabu00e9 and Saint-Julien. It begins at a point locals call “La Croix”. This name originates from a calvary, a religious monument, now partially hidden by a war memorial. Avenue de Saint-Julien stretches eastward, connecting the vibrant commercial heart of Saint-Barnabu00e9 with the more residential charm of Saint-Julien. The avenue forms a crucial link between these two distinct neighborhoods. The neighboring Saint-Barnabu00e9 district itself is a fascinating blend of old and new. Its main street, rue Montaigne, once hosted Marseille’s tramway. You can still find a vestige of this bygone era at the aptly named “Le Terminus” restaurant. This restaurant sits directly across from the village church on Place Caire. Saint-Barnabu00e9 also seamlessly merges a large commercial area with traditional small businesses. Avenue de Saint-Julien contributes to this dynamic mix. It offers a diverse array of businesses, reflecting the evolving character of the area. The avenue showcases how Marseille embraces its past while constantly adapting to the present.
