The 10th arrondissement of Marseille is a district (arrondissement) in the city of Marseille. The district is located east of the City. It borders the 11th arrondissement in the east, the 4th and 5th arrondissement in the north and the 8th arrondissement in the southwest.

The 10th arrondissement of Marseille includes six neighbourhoods (quartiers): la Capelette, Menpenti, Pont-de-Vivaux, Saint-Loup, Saint-Tronc, and La Timone and 25 IRIS including 24 IRIS housing and Prado Park.

The Capelette neighbourhood is very poorly served by public transport. Only the number 18 line from Saint Loup to Castellane passes through Capelette.

The Capelette district, named after the disused Capeletto chapel on the Bonnefoy boulevard, has a railroad bridge that crosses the avenue, as well as the church of St Laurent on the St Jean boulevard. It also has a beautiful garden, called the garden of Guy Azaïs.

Supplementary CMU (CMU-C) is a free complementary health that covers what is not covered by compulsory health insurance schemes.
