Tour description
Discover Marseille with a local guide who lives and breathes the city.
We start at the legendary Vieux-Port, where fishermen’s boats have rocked for centuries, and I’ll reveal how this harbor shaped France’s oldest metropolis. Then we dive into history and the culture of the South of France, wandering through the oldest French neighborhood where narrow streets whisper stories of sailors and adventurers. Around the backside of the port, we’ll uncover monuments, boulevards and vibrant streets before ending in Le Panier, Marseille’s wild soul of facades, secrets and street art.
Along the way: local life, anecdotes, expressions and cultural treasures.
