About this activity

“The best way to know a city is to walk it.” Simone de Beauvoir, the renowned French writer, was right.

And it is especially true for Marseille.

Marseille is unique, a city with 100 personalities, an oxymoron where calm and noise live together in chaotic harmony.

The oldest city in France, 2600 years old, still has a young beating heart, and the best way to feel it is to simply walk on it.

On this tour of 8 people maximum, you'll experience and discover, with a local, passionate, and bilingual guide, what makes Marseille, Marseille.

We will wander through the small and only walkable streets of Le Panier, and learn about Marseille's rich history one monument after the other. Our tour will mainly center around the port, from one shore to another, as it is the very center, the very soul of the city. We will make our way to the magnificent Palais du Pharo, marveling at the panoramic view we can see from there.

And so, so much more.

Join us in exploring this southern treasure.
