Discover Le Panier, the historic district of Marseille with a village feel. The voice of a local guide will guide you throughout the visit and the stories will be triggered automatically as you go along. Start your tour whenever you want, alone or with friends.
During this 1h audio-guided walking tour, go to the Old Port, just in front of the City Hall. Learn how the little Massalia was born, a town that became a city and then Marseille in Roman times. Discover the must-see Saint Nicolas and Saint Jean forts, and the “Bonne Mère” Basilica, loved by locals. Walk along the Old Port before reaching the oldest house of Marseille, one of the only survivors of the sad second world war.
Enter the heart of the Panier district and notice a change in scenery. The houses are old, narrow, and colourful, and there’s a village feeling right here in the heart of the city. You will learn the local culinary specialities such as the famous “bouillabesse”, and the recipe for Marseille soap. As you stroll through the area, you can admire a lot of street art. This includes charming frescoes painted on walls and shopfronts, as well as collages, sculptures, mosaics on building façades, and all kinds of graffiti.
