A majestic palace in the center of the city 🏰🇫🇷

#francetrip I just had an amazing day visiting Palais Longchamp in Marseille, and it felt like stepping into a fairytale! 🌸🏛️ This beautiful palace is actually a monument built to celebrate the arrival of water in Marseille, and it houses both the Fine Arts Museum and the Natural History Museum. The entrance fee for the museums was only €5, which is a bargain considering the stunning art and exhibits inside. 🎨🦖 The first thing that hits you is the grand entrance with its magnificent fountains, sculptures, and lush gardens. The cascading waterfall at the center of the palace is a showstopper, especially when the sunlight hits the water just right. 💦🌞 I spent hours wandering around, exploring the museum collections, and relaxing in the surrounding gardens, which are perfect for a picnic or just soaking in the views of the city. There’s a children’s playground and even a small zoo nearby, making it a great spot for families. 🦒🌳 After exploring the Palais Longchamp, I took a leisurely walk around the surrounding neighborhood, which is full of charming cafes and shops. I stopped at a local patisserie to grab a croissant and a coffee, then sat in the shade to admire the palace’s architecture from a distance. If you’re ever in Marseille, don’t miss this gem—it’s a perfect mix of culture, history, and natural beauty. #trip #palaislongchamp #marseille #frenchart #gardenviews #explorefrance
