La Grande Roue

Have you ever felt the thrill of floating above a city? Here at the Grande Roue de Marseille, that sensation becomes reality. The Grande Roue, one of the tallest Ferris wheels in France, reaches a height of 55 meters. It offers breathtaking panoramic views of Marseille and the Mediterranean Sea. Since its opening in 2009, the Grande Roue has become a beloved Marseille attraction. It has moved between the Vieux-Port (Old Port) and Escale Borély. But its towering presence always provides a unique perspective on the city. Imagine yourself nestled in one of its 42 gondola cabins. A gentle breeze whispers past as you ascend, the city unfolding beneath you like a map. You can spot landmarks like Notre Dame de la Garde, its gleaming white facade a beacon against the azure sky. The Grande Roue operates day and night, providing different but equally stunning views. The vibrant cityscape by day transforms into a twinkling tapestry of lights at night. The Grande Roue isn’t just a ride. It’s a gateway to a different perspective, a chance to see Marseille from a new height. Once you’ve experienced Marseille from above, explore the nearby attractions at the Old Port. Visit the MuCEM, the Museum of Civilizations of Europe and the Mediterranean, or the historic Fort Saint-Jean. Your memories of Marseille will be forever etched with the unique view from La Grande Roue.
