Cell towers in Marseille 06 (Bouches-du-Rhône)

The widest declared gap between neighbouring supports is about 7.1 km, to the east of the centre. 8 supports are declared underground, in a gallery or a tunnel. For questions about exposure, see the exposure guide.

Most of the town's 75 masts are buildings (64); 8 underground or tunnel sites make up the rest of the mix.

Masts stand at Parking Monthyon, Montée de la Bonne Mère, Metro Notre Dame du Mont, 64 Rue de la Loubiere, Metro Estrangin 1/2 and 82.84 rue Edmond Rostand.

Over the past 12 months ANFR recorded 25 new systems here. ANFR has approved one new site that is not live yet, plus additions on 16 existing masts. New: Free Mobile (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at 68 Rue de Rome. 16 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

8 masts belong to the commune itself and 1 to Totem; the rest sit mainly on private buildings.

Systems from 1995 are still on the register. SFR opened 5G here in October 2020; Orange followed in November 2020, Bouygues Telecom followed in November 2020. 2013 was the busiest year, with 140 new systems, most of them 4G.

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Free Mobile on 10 of its 17 masts, SFR on 9 of its 47 masts, Bouygues Telecom on 6 of its 16 masts and Orange on 4 of its 19 masts. 5G is on 39% of masts here, against 76% across Bouches-du-Rhône towns with five or more masts.

Most antennas sit on rooftops (64 of 75), so heights stay modest; the tallest support is 36 m at 2 rue Commandant Imhaus.

36 supports carry only SFR.

Nearby, Marseille (1 km to the north) has 818 masts, more than here.

Among the 92 Bouches-du-Rhône towns with at least five masts, Marseille 06 ranks 5th by mast count. With 75 masts for 38,476 residents, or 19 per 10,000, it has more masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (13).

At 2 km² with 38,476 residents, the commune is dense enough that most antennas sit on rooftops rather than pylons.

Figures above cover installations declared to ANFR as in service or technically operational, as of October 2026; approved projects are not counted.
