Minot (n.m.): (familiar) young boy, child, kid, youth.

Marseille has something for "minots" as well. A variety of children's activities are available thanks to the Educational Department of the Marseille museums. In addition, there are children's theatre performances throughout the year: La Girafe (giraffe), le Badaboum, Massalia, le têtard (tadpole), le Divadlo, la baleine qui dit des vagues (talking whale)...

There is also a dedicated children's museum: The Préau des Accoules, with activities for the "big kids" that are related to the exhibits.

Children will also enjoy: the motorcycle museum, the fashion museum, the natural history museum, etc...

The Marseille Tourist Office and Convention Bureau organizes activities for children on a regular basis during school holiday periods (tours, activities, treasure hunts...)

• Hunt for the sun king's buried treasure (A guided walking tour for families that is organized like a treasure hunt around the Old Port)
• Scavenger hunt "Stone and Sea" (Guided walking tour for families in the Panier district with a sea theme)
• "Mystery Phocaean girl tour" (Walking tour through the vestiges of Antique Marseille). And many more in order to educate our "minots" and keep them busy!

There are many parks and gardens throughout the city equipped with playgrounds for children. The most well-known are: Parc Borély, Parc Pastré, Parc Valmer, Parc du XXVIème centenaire…

There are also two very popular forest adventure parks:
