Longchamp Palace

LONGCHAMP PALACE

 

The Palais Longchamp was created to celebrate the construction of the Canal de Marseille, which was built to bring water from the Durance River to Marseille. The building took 30 years to complete. Designed by the architect Henry Esperandieu, the building was centered on the structure and elaborate fountain known as the chateau d'eau

PERSONAL OPINION

This is an awesome place to visit if you like clasical culture or art because of its architecture and beauty. It is a little bit far from normal touristic sites but it worth to get here. The entrance is free, like in almost all the monuments of marseille; and it has a espectacular fountain.

To found this place you will have to walk a little bit arround the city, but one you reach there you will be able to see its awesome beauty, for example the fountain or the palace entrance, wich is one of the best pieces of 19th century art on Europe.

 
Near the palace you will find the gardens of the palace, wich are bery care, so they are beautifull. The best time to visit this idyllic place is on summer or at the end of spring.
