The " Château de ma mère" built in 1867 aqquired by Marcel Pagnol in 1941, hoping to create a "cité du Cinéma". This place has been bought by the City of Marseille in 1995. Two years later, le Château de la Buzine is listed as a historical monument.
An exceptional site dedicated to culture
Situated in the heart of a valley between Saint-Menet and Les Camoins, between the hills and the Huveaune valley, in Marseille's 11th arrondissement, Château de la Buzine is part of a chain of châteaux and fine residences that tell part of the story of the city and its inhabitants. The estate owes its name to Henry de Buzens, the noble owner of the estate in the 17th century.
