The Palais Longchamp is a monument in Marseille's 4th arrondissement, completed in 1869 to plans by Henri Espérandieu to mark the arrival of water from the Durance through the Canal de Marseille. A curved colonnade links a central water tower and cascade fountain to two wings that house the Musée des Beaux-Arts and the natural history museum, with the Parc Longchamp behind.
