The Villa Valmer and its Park are on the Corniche Kennedy just after the Cove of counterfeit.
Leave your car on the corniche at the level of the tide gauge, and go up to feet by the alley that winds through the Park until the Villa Valmer.
The Park with lush vegetation has a little exotic side with many Palm trees, olive trees, Aleppo pines, Oaks, pistachios, lentisks, Arbutus, and cascading perennials: dimorphotecas, agathaea, carpobrutus, lavender, lantanas a..
A play area for children.
On the heights, a few benches await you with a beautiful view of the Bay of Marseille, the castle of If and the islands of Frioul.
The villa, which can be easily compared to a small castle because of its proportions and its architecture, is a neo Renaissance country house which was built in 1865 by Charles Gonnelle, rich oil producer and trader salonnais. Originally, the villa was known as "Sea wave" that has subsequently entered into "Valmer". Today, it houses a UN agency.
It's a nice place to walk.
