Culture, music and major events in 2026 just moments from La Magdeleine

Ideally located between Marseille, Aix-en-Provence and Cassis, La Magdeleine is a privileged base from which to explore a vibrant Provence throughout the year

In 2026, the region stands out for its rich cultural programme, combining festivals, exhibitions, music, cinema and major public events.

All year long, Provence pays tribute to Marcel Pagnol, with the opening of a museum dedicated to him in Allauch in spring 2026.

In Aix-en-Provence, the Cézanne Year continues with evening openings at the Atelier, guided tours and exhibitions at the Musée Granet.

In spring and summer, culture truly comes into its own:
the Festival de Marseille (June–July), Marseille Jazz des Cinq Continents (July), the Aix-en-Provence International Festival of Lyric Art (July), as well as Marsatac and the Delta Festival for contemporary music. The FID – International Film Festival completes this vibrant summer season.

In autumn, the Marseille Fair, the Fiesta des Suds and the iconic Marseille–Cassis race extend the region’s cultural and festive energy.
