In Marseille, spring heralds the return of those rituals we’ve missed so much: an afternoon lounging on the sand, a drink on a terrace, or an ice cream to cool off. Among the season’s must-visit spots, one destination is generating particularly high anticipation: Le Métropole. Ideally located on the Old Port, the ice cream shop reopens its doors in April. With its artisanal treats and commitment to organic ingredients, it’s already establishing itself as the essential gourmet stop to celebrate the return of the sun.
An ice cream shop at the entrance to the Old Port
Just off the Old Port, on Place Gabriel Péri, a green storefront immediately catches the eye. Both an organic ice cream shop and a café, Le Métropole welcomes passersby with a refreshing vibe and a contagious smile. Here, the goal is clear: to offer a top-tier artisanal alternative, a far cry from industrial standards. Nothing is left to chance. Amid the neighborhood’s hustle and bustle, the shop offers a true oasis where you can escape the chaos of Marseille for the duration of an ice cream cone.
A spot with a touch of the South
Le Métropole is a warm, almost intimate space. The interior offers a bright atmosphere where nautical inspirations and natural touches evoke the beach huts of the South. Here, you can enjoy your ice cream in a space that exudes summer andauthentic Mediterranean charm. For those who prefer the open air, the small terrace lets you savor sorbets and ice cream under the sun, just a few steps from the masts of the boats.
More than just a taste, it’s a complete experience: the attentive service and soothing atmosphere transform every visit into a fragrant interlude.
51 shades of organic, sun-kissed flavors
The strength of Le Métropole lies, of course, in its generous menu of 51 flavors. From timeless classics to the most daring creations, the choice becomes a delightful dilemma. The flavors pay a vibrant tribute to Provence: lavender, orange blossom, and lemon-basil sit alongside the unmissable pastis flavor.
Each recipe features exceptional ingredients and remarkable aromatic intensity. True to its values, the ice cream shop offers a fully certified organic range, guaranteeing a healthy and responsible treat. To extend the moment, a selection of coffees and sweets is also available.
A place where people come for the taste, linger for the atmosphere, and return, quite simply, for the sheer pleasure of it.
