    L'orient Rouge

    Walk nine minutes to L'orient Rouge. The decor is striking and the atmosphere is quiet enough for conversation or people-watching.

    Rond-Point Bastos

    Stroll the forty-two minutes to Rond-Point Bastos. This park offers a green escape from the city noise, perfect for a late afternoon walk.

Local tip

The walk from Massi to L'orient Rouge is short and easy. The longer walk to Rond-Point Bastos is pleasant but best done in the cooler late afternoon light.

Check before you go

  • Massi is open Mo-Su 06:00-19:00.
