La Caravelle
Visit this old-school bar for live jazz and Mediterranean share plates.
Overview
La Caravelle is your go-to destination for old-school French jazz and romance, right in the heart of Marseille. Located in the Hôtel Bellevue, the bar has been a hotspot for sailors and locals since the 1920s. And today it welcomes all visitors with open arms. Settle in upstairs with a drink or look out from the sunny balcony with its views of the stunning Old Port. It's the kind of place to sink into a good book while listening to the piano. Or, if you want something with a bit more energy, pop in for a live jazz concert. They take place three times a week. Enjoy with a Mediterranean-style lunch and a glass of pastis in hand.
