The montée des Accoules is a street in the 2nd arrondissement of Marseille . It leads in a west-east direction from place de Lenche to place Daviel , where it offers a good view of the bell tower of Notre-Dame-des-Accoules from the stairs . It is best known to painters as a drawing motif.
The street used to be called "montée de l ' observatoire ". In 1702, the Jesuit father Antoine Laval decided to set up an observatory in a building called maison de Sainte Croix , on the highest point of the street . A few years earlier, Pierre Gassendi wanted an observatory in Marseille. In the maison de Sainte Croix , headed by Esprit Pezenas from 1729 , oriental languages were also taught, which is why the house was also called collège des quatre langues . After the Jesuits moved out, Guillaume de Saint-Jacques de Silvabelle took over the management of the facility that was now part of the Royal Navy.
