Highlights

We invite you to discover the exotic district of Noailles and its market located in the heart of Marseille. Discover the origin of the world's most famous national anthem, learn where the first cinema in history was, visit 200-year-old shops and enter the vibrant and colourful market and its oriental spice shops. They will also talk about the drama that has hit Rue d’Aubagne and the struggle of local residents against gentrification, undignified housing and fear of being expelled from their homes. All accompanied by a local guide living in the neighborhood. Then dive into Cours Julien, named “The Coolest Neighborhood in the World” by Time Out, where street art, indie boutiques, and artisans create a unique vibe. Plus, enjoy a secret surprise at the end!

About Marseille

Marseille, France's oldest city, is a Mediterranean port of old forts, hilltop basilicas and limestone coves, and the home of bouillabaisse.

Greek sailors founded Marseille around 600 BC, making it the oldest city in France. The Vieux-Port is its centre, a long harbour ringed by cafés and the morning fish stalls, guarded by two forts at its mouth. On a hill above, the basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde carries a gilded statue of the Virgin Mary and shows the harbour and the islands from its terrace.

Top-ranked sights in Marseille: Notre-Dame de la Garde Basilica (La Bonne Mère), Old Port of Marseille (Vieux Port), Vallon des Auffes.
