La montée des Accoules est une rue pittoresque qui relie la place de Lenche à la place Daviel. Elle offre une perspective sublime sur le clocher de l’église des Accoules, l’une des plus anciennes églises de Marseille.
Église Notre-Dame-des-Accoules:
Cette ancienne collégiale médiévale, rasée pendant la Révolution française, possède un clocher classé monument historique. Construite au XIIIe siècle, elle a connu une histoire mouvementée.
Le clocher, à pans octogonaux, repose sur l’ancienne Tour Sauveterre, qui servait à sonner le tocsin en cas d’incendie ou d’attaque. Il fait partie des vestiges les plus anciens de Marseille.
L’église actuelle, datant du XIXe siècle, est construite sur l’emplacement de l’église primitive. Sa cour présente un décor atypique avec une chapelle du Calvaire et des cryptes évoquant la grotte de Lourdes.
L’église Notre-Dame-des-Accoules illustre une grotte de Marie Madeleine et est surmontée d’un calvaire .
Montée des Accoules:
Autrefois appelée “montée de l’observatoire”, elle tire son nom des jésuites qui possédaient un bâtiment au sommet de la rue, abritant un observatoire.

Jacques Peyrelevade is a contemporary French expressionist painter known for his expertise in oil, pastel, ink, and charcoal. His artistic canvas spans the vibrant landscapes of Marseille, the Mediterranean, Provence, and the East. Yet, in his creations, the ground serves merely as a backdrop, a support for the interplay of color and light, akin to a symphony of visual music. The palette knife emerges as his chosen technical instrument, orchestrating the dance of vivid hues across his canvases.
Born in Marseille, Peyrelevade's upbringing carried the echoes of his familial roots, hailing from a lineage of farmers in Corrèze and Dordogne. At the tender age of ten, he found himself among the last visitors to the prehistoric marvel of Lascaux, where he experienced his inaugural artistic epiphany, setting him on a path toward painting. It wasn't until retirement beckoned that Peyrelevade could wholly devote himself to his passion for art.
During his formative years, the young Peyrelevade found himself mesmerized by the luminosity emanating from Van Gogh's room at the Musée d'Orsay. Later, he delved into the extensive correspondence between Vincent and Theo, extracting invaluable insights into the nuances of color and line. While acknowledging the influence of esteemed artists such as Claude Monet and Nicolas de Staël, Peyrelevade attributes much of his artistic ethos to the Provençal school. Exhibitions featuring luminaries like Monticelli, Jean-Baptiste Olive, Marquet, Camoin, Verdilhan, Seyssaud, Ambrogiani, and Toncini left an indelible mark on his artistic sensibilities, shaping his distinctive expressionist style.
With each stroke of his brush, Jacques Peyrelevade breathes life into his canvases, capturing the essence of the world around him in a mesmerizing symphony of color and light, perpetuating the legacy of his artistic lineage while carving out a unique narrative of his own.
