Parking Access
Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday morning, traffic on the Cours Mirabeau is closed by the Municipal Police due to the market held there. On these days, access to the hotel car park is therefore not possible before 2:00 p.m., but exit from the car park is possible throughout the day.
Access to our car park is via the Fontaine de la Rotonde (Place Général de Gaulle). Continue straight ahead, take Rue Mazarine (first street on the left), then Rue Laroque (first street on the left again).
At the end of the street, you will find two electric bollards blocking access to the Cours Mirabeau. It is important to drive your vehicle as close as possible to these bollards. Once you are facing the bollards, you will need to contact the hotel reception at +33 (0)4 42 27 74 22 (option 1) so that we can identify you and request the opening of the street.
Continue up the Cours Mirabeau, then take the third street on the left, just after Monoprix: Rue Nazareth.
At the entrance of Rue Nazareth, approach your vehicle and contact reception again at +33 (0)4 42 27 74 22 to open the bollards. Continue straight for approximately 10 meters, and the large black gate to our car park will be on your right.
There are bollards along the way; if they are not open, you can activate them manually using the button located on each bollard.
If you encounter any difficulty, please do not hesitate to contact Reception at +33 (0)4 42 27 74 22.
