La Valentine: a district between tradition and commerce

La Valentine is a historic district in the 11th arrondissement of Marseille, its name dating back to the 15th century. Once a rural hamlet on the right bank of the Huveaune, the district underwent a major transformation in the second half of the 20th century with the establishment of major commercial areas. The montée Commandant de Robien, which connects the district to major roads, now hosts several commercial businesses during the week, but it is on Sundays that it fully comes alive as a place for treasure hunting and conviviality.

Easy access via the A50 motorway

One of the major advantages of the Commandant de Robien car boot sale is its accessibility. Located immediately near exit n°4 of the A50 motorway, it is easily accessible from the center of Marseille as well as from the towns in the east of the department. Parking is available around the market. Visitors using public transport can take the RTM bus lines serving the La Valentine hub.
