House of the Islands and the Coast
museum· 10 min from marina (818m)
Tucked into the rocky coastline of Île Ratonneau, this 19th-century Villa Marine sits perched above the sea along the well-worn path to Plage Saint-Estève — about a 15-minute walk from Frioul's port. It's a genuinely rare kind of place, where you can dig into the natural and cultural history of Marseille's islands and coastline while the Mediterranean stretches out right in front of you. Open daily in summer (10am–4pm), then weekends and Wednesdays the rest of the year.
