Description

Immerse yourself in the heart of Marseille with a tour full of charm and history. From the majestic Notre-Dame de la Garde to the narrow streets of the Panier and the bustling Old Port.
Our visit begins with the imposing Notre-Dame de la Garde, perched atop the city. This symbol of Marseille offers an exceptional panorama of the city and the Mediterranean. Here, you'll discover the fascinating history of the "Good Mother", protector of sailors and residents alike.

We'll then descend to the Vieux-Port, the historic and vibrant heart of Marseille. A former hub of maritime trade, this emblematic site remains a veritable meeting point between past and present, with its fish market and colorful boats.

Next, we head to the lively Noailles district. Here, you'll visit two Marseilles institutions: the Maison de l'Empereur, a historic hardware store that seems frozen in time, and the Père Blaize herbalist's shop, famous for its natural remedies since 1815.

Finally, the tour ends in the picturesque alleyways of Le Panier, the city's oldest district. With its colorful facades, charming squares and art galleries, this district will immerse you in the authentic atmosphere of old Marseille, where every corner tells a story.
