How to get there

Domaine Notre Dame de la Garde, Rue Fort du Sanctuaire, 13006 Marseille, France

Located at Rue Fort du Sanctuaire in the 6th arrondissement, this venue is easily accessible from central Marseille. Given the popular nature of this **urban farm** setting and the 30-child limit, we recommend booking several weeks in advance. The site is positioned at the city's highest point, so allow extra time for arrival during busy weekends.

A Farm Experience in the City

Choosing Notre-Dame de la Garde for a child's birthday means stepping away from traditional indoor play centers and into a natural environment. As a farm-style venue, the focus is on outdoor engagement and discovery. Children can explore the grounds under the supervision of professional monitors, who ensure that activities are age-appropriate for the 1–12 range. The atmosphere is relaxed and educational, allowing kids to burn off energy while learning about the environment. While the children are occupied, parents can enjoy a dedicated area, making it a stress-free afternoon for the adults involved.

Planning Your Celebration

The booking process is designed to be straightforward, starting from 18 EUR per child. This fee typically covers the essential elements of the party, ensuring a cohesive experience for the group.

Supervised Activities: Monitors lead the group through various farm-themed interactions.
Capacity: A maximum of 30 children ensures the group remains manageable and the experience stays personal.
Parental Comfort: A specific zone is set aside for guardians to socialize.

To ensure a smooth event, it is wise to remind guests to wear sturdy footwear suitable for a farm setting. Since the venue is located at a high elevation with iconic views, the weather can be slightly breezier than in the harbor area, so light layers are recommended. Always confirm the final guest count a few days prior to ensure the monitors are prepared for your specific group size.
