Step into the vibrant soul of Marseille on this guided walking tour through the city’s oldest and most character‑filled neighbourhoods. Beginning in the museum district, you’ll stroll into the historic heart of the city, Le Panier, where narrow streets, colourful façades and centuries of history create a truly authentic atmosphere.
Along the way, admire some of Marseille’s most impressive landmarks, including Notre‑Dame de la Major, St Laurent Church, and La Vieille Charité, the beautifully restored former hospital that stands as a testament to the city’s past. Between these architectural highlights, you’ll pause at a selection of local shops to sample the flavours that define Provençal life.
Delight your taste buds with a tempting array of regional specialities, from rich olive tapenade and refreshing rosé wine, to olive‑oil chocolate and Marseille’s iconic navette biscuits. Each tasting offers a delicious insight into the traditions and produce of the region.
Your experience concludes on a high note as you raise a glass of classic Pastis, soaking up sweeping views towards the stunning Notre‑Dame de la Garde — the perfect finale to a leisurely blend of history, flavour and unforgettable scenery.
