Plans ahead of the wedding

We still have not finalised locations, but we wanted to provide a sense of what the plan will be to facilitate organisation!

18-19 June in Marseille

If you have some spare time, Clara & Oliver are planning to have some loose plans in and around Marseille on these days. There are no “events” but we are hoping to meet some of you if you are in the area!

  • Wednesday 18 June (Nightime): for an evening drink (Pastis!) and perhaps bites (Panisse!) near the city center (Cours Julien).

  • Thursday 19 June (Daytime): we are planning to head out to Les Goudes / Cap Croisette

For accommodations and housing, we would recommend the following areas:

  • Le Panier (1): cute up and coming neighborhood with small streets and nice little airbnbs (best for friends and couples renting airbnbs). Note: Staying closer to the old port is a bit safer than near the train station / further north)

  • Cours Julien / La Plaine (2): great central location with a mix of airbnbs and hotels. This is an area with a lot of active nightlife and great access to the city. Perfectly located to make your way around town and meet us for a drink on Wednesday! (Good for all!)

  • Malmousque (3): A hilly residential area with some large family homes for big groups of friends or family groups. It is a bit more peaceful than the center of town and has great access to some of the cutest city beaches (Anse de Maldormé). (Best for larger groups, families able to uber, people looking for a bit more peace). Note: you may need some extra walking or an uber to get to the center of town due to the hills.

20 June in Arles

After Marseille, Clara & Oliver are heading up the coast and along the Rhône to Arles. The first event of the wedding will take place in the heart of Arles near Place Voltaire. There will be a reception drinks at one of our favorite spots in the city.

  • Friday 20 June: drinks and nibbles near Place Voltaire in Arles

Further details will follow

On 21 June 2025 the wedding celebration will start at 17.00. Wedding buses will be available from Place la Martine or Hotel Jules Cesar to the wedding location; alternatively, one can arrive by car (but we prefer you don’t drive)
