The 18 hectare park stands at the very place where the Prodo station once stood. It has been replaced now by Marseille’s most magnificent garden park. The most prominent features of the park are its sub-gardens with 4 themes: Provençal garden, with Provencal aromatic plants; African Garden, complete with sand dunes; Arab-Andalousian Garden, with a canal and palm trees; and the English park and its huge lake. But to simply list these is to miss the magic in the details. And you must go see the bewitching beauty of the park yourself to understand why the Park has such a huge appeal to all visitors to Marseille.
