Itinerary

1. Old Port of Marseille

Marseille, one of France's oldest cities, owes much of its historical prominence to its strategic location on the Mediterranean Sea. Today the Old Port is a vibrant hub for gatherings, major celebrations and amazing fireworks and remains a cherished landmark for the people of Marseille.

Duration: 10 mins

2. Marseille

Marseille's history is a captivating tapestry woven from the influences of Romans, Moors, and a variety of migrant communities, notably from North Africa and Italy. This rich and diverse heritage has shaped a distinctive blend of languages, cuisines, and traditions, all firmly grounded in its enduring Mediterranean essence.

Duration: 30 mins

3. Rue de l'Évêché

Here we will taste panisse. It is a beloved Marseille specialty, made from chickpea flour and traditionally fried into golden, crispy slices. Originating from Ligurian and Provençal influences, it's a staple of local cuisine, often enjoyed as a snack or appetizer. Whether served hot at a seaside café or freshly prepared at home, panisse embodies the simple yet flavorful charm of Marseille’s culinary heritage.

5. Rue Caisserie

Here we will taste another classic of Marseille, the "navettes". These iconic biscuits are shaped like small boats to honor the city's maritime heritage.

La Vieille Charité (The Old Charity Centre), located in Marseille’s Panier district, is a 17th-century architectural treasure originally built as a shelter for the poor.

Known as the Cathedral of Sainte-Marie-Majeure or “La Major,” this iconic landmark is the only cathedral built in the 19th century, marking a 200-year hiatus in such constructions.
