Hidden within the vibrant tapestry of Marseille lies the Plateau de Malmousque. It’s a charming district nestled within the larger neighborhood of Endoume in the 7th arrondissement. The Plateau de Malmousque is known for its picturesque, winding streets. These streets weave through a landscape of stunning villas built into the cliffs, offering breathtaking views of the sea. The name “Malmousque” originates from the Provençal word “Malamousca,” literally translating to “bad fly.” While the exact meaning remains a mystery, the name first appeared in historical records as “Lumena Moscas” in 1286. From the Corniche du Président-John-Fitzgerald-Kennedy, a discreet alleyway marked by a wrought-iron sign reading “Anse de Malmousque” leads to a hidden gem. This is the Anse de Malmousque, or “small bay of Malmousque.” Here, you’ll discover a small harbor. Tucked away on the western side of the harbor, a military area serves as a recreational space exclusively for members of the French armed forces and the Foreign Legion, along with their families. Today, the Plateau de Malmousque stands as a beloved destination. It draws tourists and visitors from all corners of the globe, captivated by its unique blend of charm and coastal beauty.
