Accessibility
The topography of the Citadelle de Marseille, located on a rocky promontory overlooking the Vieux Port, and its restoration in accordance with the regulations of its classification as a Historic Monument, unfortunately make the site very difficult to access for wheelchairs and strollers (due to steep slopes and slippery ground surfaces).
If you are unsure about your ability to access Fort St-Nicolas, please feel free to contact us directly: accueil@lacitadelle.org
