Hôtel de Cabre

Look at the building on your right. It is the oldest house in Marseille.

Place de Lenche

Southern atmosphere guaranteed on this small square of the neighborhood lined with cafes and restaurants that unveil their large terraces during the summer season!

Le Vieux Port

Imagine, more than 2,600 years ago, that it was here that the Phocéens first landed to establish a city, Massalia, which today is among the three largest cities in France.

11

Basilique Notre Dame de la Garde

The Old Port of Marseille is also a breathtaking view of the Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde Basilica.

12

Eglise Saint-Ferreol

We are in the first arrondissement of Marseille, and it is at the crossroads, facing the quays, that we notice from afar the church of Saint-Ferréol.

L'Ombrière de Norman Foster

A real touch of modernity in the heart of one of the oldest districts in France!

15

Palais du Pharo

You have on your right, despite the grid, a very nice glimpse of a part of the Phocaean City. What’s interesting here is that you can see in the distance, overlooking the sea and revealing its orange roof, the magnificent palace of the Pharo.

This surprising building is the Abbey of Saint Victor, founded in the 5th century and visible from the Old Port.

20

Opera Municipal de Marseille

Located in the 1st arrondissement, the Marseille Opera was built between 1786 and 1787 in the classical style.

You enter the most colorful area of the city. The Ju course, as it is called here, does not present historical monuments, or pretty views of the city...

22

The Palace of Arts

Created by architect Henri Espérandieu, who also designed the Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde Basilica, the Palais des Arts now hosts concerts and exhibitions, after having hosted the municipal library and the École des Beaux-Arts for a long time.

23

Rue du Marché des Capucins

As the centre of the Noailles district, the Capuchin Point of Sale Square hosts, as its name suggests, a Producers’ Point of Sale where some twenty exhibitors display their fruit and vegetables at unbeatable Awards.

24

La Canebiere

Everyone knows La Canebière, or at least has heard that name before when talking about Marseille. But do you know the history of this famous avenue?

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
