The complex sits adjacent to the MuCEM museum and the Villa Mediterranee, forming part of the Euromediterranee urban renewal district. A rooftop terrace on the upper level overlooks the port and the Cathedral de la Major. is just one of many options in Marseille. Major attractions worth considering include Abbey of St. Victor (Abbaye Saint-Victor), Calanque de Sormiou, and Calanques National Park (Parc National des Calanques).
