CMA CGM Tower
CMA CGM Tower
Located in the Euroméditerranée district, this 147-meter skyscraper serves as the headquarters for the CMA CGM shipping company. Travelers visit the site primarily to view its distinctive exterior architecture, which was designed by Zaha Hadid. It stands as a modern landmark within the city's evolving business district.
Getting There
The tower is situated a short distance from the city center. Depending on your starting point, you can reach it via local bus or a short taxi ride. The journey typically takes between 10 and 20 minutes from the central areas of Marseille.
Duration of Visit
Since the primary draw is the architectural design of the building's facade, most visitors spend approximately 30 to 60 minutes observing the structure and the surrounding plaza.
When to Visit
Daylight hours are recommended to clearly see the details of the facade. The area is a business hub, so it is generally busier during weekday working hours. To avoid the heaviest commuter traffic, consider visiting during the weekend or early morning.
Nearby Attractions
The tower is positioned near several cultural sites in the city. You can combine your visit with the following locations:
- Musée d’Archéologie Méditerranéenne (1.6km)
- Marseille Cathedral (1.7km)
- Le Panier (1.9km)
- Église Saint-Cannat (2km)
