Le Rove (French pronunciation: [lə ʁɔv]; Occitan: Lo Rove) is a seaside commune in the Bouches-du-Rhône department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in Southern France.[3]

It is located on the Côte Bleue just northwest of Marseille, neighbouring its 16th arrondissement within the larger Aix-Marseille-Provence Metropolis. It consists of a main village at Le Rove which houses the town hall, as well as a variety of hamlets and other settlements.

The Rove Tunnel, the world's longest canal tunnel at 7,120 metres (23,360 ft), has its southeastern entrance situated in Marseille near Le Rove, although a sizeable portion crosses the commune underground (from the Mediterranean towards the Étang de Berre), hence its name. It has been out of service since 1963.

Georges Rosso, the mayor of Le Rove, is the oldest mayor of any French city, at 93 years of age.[4]

Transport

Le Rove is served by the Niolon TER PACA railway station (opened in 1915) on the Miramas–L'Estaque railway.
