Coliving | Hotel | Coworking | Restaurant | Sports | Events
The first The Babel Community residence opened in September 2017 in downtown Marseille, between the Vieux-Port and La Joliette neighborhoods. It’s a space spanning over 4,000 square meters where you can live, work, exercise, party, and, above all, meet new people.
Here, everything is designed to ensure that its occupants flourish: turnkey from turnkey coliving apartments to flexible Coworking workspaces. But there are also a number of communal areas designed for relaxing and sharing moments together: a restaurant restaurant, a sports hall and gymnasium, meeting meeting roomsa cineclub, terraces to share… All of this is part of a broader ecosystem of services (housekeeping, reception, concierge services, etc.) designed to make life easier and free up time for what really matters!
Events are organised every day to encourage meetings between colivers, coworkers and local residents! Together they coexist and form a vibrant community: The Babel Community.

A iconic thoroughfare in Marseille, Rue de la République connects the Old Port and its many nightlife spots to the business district of La Joliette. Rue de la République is home to numerous shops, including a Monoprix right across the street, and is located near the Les Terrasses du Port and Les Docks shopping centers. Climb a few steps, and you’ll find yourself in the picturesque Panier district. When it comes to leisure and culture, the neighborhood is brimming with activities: the MUCEM for its exhibitions and unique panoramic views, the majestic Cathédrale de la Major overlooking the district, along with its lively, food-filled market halls, and Le Silo for its high-quality, eclectic programming: concerts, ballets, comedy shows…
