Marseille Highlights Free Walking Tour

After an introduction on Marseille , we will travel back in time to the birthplace of the city, Le Jardin Des Vestiges , the original port where the Phoceans founded Massalia. Next, we will go to the old Town Hall (Hotel de Ville Municipality), where the Count of Monte Cristo was betrayed by his best friend and sent to the Chateu d'If.
We will go up to the oldest neighborhood in France and birthplace of the city, Le Panier , where Napoleon Bonaparte had an apartment and the first emigrants came to settle in this "village" within the city of narrow streets, and still with a Provençal character.
Here, we will discover La Vielle Charite , an old hospice and spectacular monument, today a museum and school of poetry. We will go down in search of the sea to discover the new port and La Catedral Mayor , the largest church in the city that looks towards the Mediterranean and, the only National Museum outside Paris Le Mucem, connected by bridges with the old neighborhood and the Fort de Saint Jean who belonged to the Templars of the order of Jerusalem and Malta.
Returning to the heart of Marseille, we will pass through Le Vieux Port , where local people and nomads from all over the world continue to pass through this place that has lived a long history.
