The Palais des Congrès et des Expositions de Marseille occupies a 17 hectare site in the heart of the city. Just a few minutes from the Prado beaches and the Old Port, the Parc benefits from an exceptional location in the centre of one of the largest metropolitan areas in Southern Europe. The TGV station (less than 10 minutes away) and Marseille Provence international airport (20 minutes) mean that access to the city is comfortably easy. A veritable village within the city, the Palais des Congrès et des Expositions hosts events for professionals and the general public all year round: congresses, trade fairs, conferences, seminars, symposia...
Its capacity - up to 7,000 people in plenary sessions and 2,500 in the amphitheatre - and the quality of the facilities make it one of the most prestigious venues in the events world.
In 2010, the site hosted some 310 events and welcomed over 1.5 million visitors.
