Let off steam and forget the passage of time with axe-throwing
Not everyone is necessarily thrilled about taking another year off. So rather than spoil the mood at a party in your honor, go axe-throwing instead. That way, everyone (and maybe even you) will be happy. To do so, take part in a most unusual activity: axe-throwing. In Aubagne, L’hachez-vous offers 6 indoor targets and 10 outdoor targets, so there’s something for everyone. And as an added bonus, there’s a bar with drinks and snacks to make it a truly festive occasion!
Treat yourself to a relaxing birthday in one of Marseille’s top spas
Are you against violence? Has getting older soothed your inner demons? That’s good too. If you’re past 30 and your back’s creaking and your hip’s tugging, pamper yourself with a relaxing massage at one of Marseille’s top spas. And contrary to popular belief, massages are not a solitary pleasure. Take your best buddy or partner along for a moment of relaxation for two.
A sea outing on Le Levantin’s catamarans
The great thing about living in Marseille is that you can organize a really hot birthday party with the sea as guest of honor. Le Levantin ‘s sailors invite you to climb aboard their catamarans for an unforgettable experience: brunch, dinner or a simple cruise in the calanques, choose your package and spend a dream birthday on our beloved Mediterranean!
An adrenalin-fuelled birthday party
Forget the routine of birthday dinners: if you’re looking for an experience worthy of the name, here’s an evening that all your guests will remember. Let yourself be captivated by The Jury Experience: this unique judicial immersion transforms your group into the arbiters of fate. Plunge into the heart of a drama inspired by a true story, where the stakes are colossal. The atmosphere is electric, and the scenario of rare intensity. Each testimony analyzed, each piece of evidence scrutinized, leads to your final deliberation. This is your chance to make your mark with an outing where, together, you’ll render justice (or not).
An apéro dînatoire overlooking the Old Port (and it’s free!)
For a memorable birthday without compromising on budget, opt for a simple but promising address: Fort Saint-Jean. This historic monument, attached to the Mucem, offers totally free access to its outdoor spaces, hanging gardens and emblematic architectural walkways. Organize a picnic or aperitif dinner at the end of the day. The 360-degree panoramic view over the Old Port and the Mediterranean is absolute luxury, making your celebration both prestigious and incredibly accessible. It’s Marseille’s secret for a spectacular and smart birthday party.
