A stroll through the Noailles district

Take a free tour of the Noailles district, also known as the belly of Marseille. Noailles is made up of narrow streets where Marseillais come to stock up on spices, condiments, flavors and fragrances of all kinds! You'll find ingredients from all over the world. Exoticism guaranteed. The discovery of the Noailles district begins on the Cours Saint-Louis (2), Marseille's "ground zero". Since 1927, it's here, precisely at the corner of the Canebière and Cours Belsunce, that the numbering of buildings along all the city's streets has been determined. It's also kilometer zero for measuring the distance between Marseille and other French cities. Cours Saint-Louis extends into rue de Rome. Turn left into rue Méolan, where you'll find the famous shop founded by Père Blaize (3). At the end of the street, turn right onto rue d'Aubagne. At the next street, turn right again onto rue Vacon. On your left is rue Halle Delacroix, with its outstanding exotic goods merchants, such as Tam-Ky. Cross the square to reach rue Rouvière and continue up it to the left. Turn left down rue d'Aubagne to the crossroads with rue Longue des Capucins. This is where you'll find Saladin's cave of 1,000 spices (5). Continue straight on to the district's only fishmonger, du Lamparo, at the corner of Marché des Capucins and Marché de Noailles. Turn left down Rue des Feuillants onto La Canebière (1). Walk down the Canebière, then turn left into rue des Récolettes, where you'll discover another of the city's outstanding shops: the "Empereur" hardware store (8). Take time to explore this store, which is approaching 100 years of existence. There's a beautiful section of antique toys upstairs. As you leave the store, the neon sign of the Cours Saint-Louis pharmacy will lead you back to the starting point of this tour.

Hiking from Notre Dame de la Garde, to Roucas Blanc and Corniche

After visiting Notre-Dame de la Garde, explore the Roucas Blanc. This district, a real maze of narrow streets, can only be visited on foot and offers magnificent views of the city. The Roucas Blanc hill was also a place of free expression for 19th-century Marseilles Rocailleurs: craftsmen, masons and ornamental designers, some of whom were quite singular. Their creations can be found in the dreamy gardens of the neighborhood's opulent homes. Via uphill crossings and sloping alleyways, you'll reach Corniche Kennedy and Plage du Prophète. Its fine sand and turquoise waters are the perfect reward after a fairly strenuous walk. This really is the most stunning urban stroll, so we invite you to look at your surroundings with curiosity and care. At the foot of Notre-Dame de la Garde, as you look out towards the sea, there's a staircase leading down that you have to take. This is the Montée du Commandant Valentin and the start of the itinerary (1). Go down to the first crossroads with a house, where you turn left, the start of the traverse du Génie. A blue mark indicates the way. Then turn left on a path that slaloms between the agaves, the Chemin du Bois Sacré (2), which joins the street of the same name, which continues on the Chemin du Roucas Blanc down to the Place du Terrail (3). Turn right onto Avenue des Roches (4 and 5) to number 77b. Here, on your left, a staircase leads to rue Colline Chanot, which you must take up to the junction with traverse de Roux, on your left. At the next intersection, turn right into rue Emile Duployé to number 45. On your left, you'll find a steep, narrow staircase to climb: montée des Croquants (6), which leads to chemin du Souvenir. Catch your breath and follow it to the right (7). The path ends in front of the gate of the Buenos-Ayres villa, and you descend a staircase to the right which joins the Nicolas traverse. Take a few steps to the right to admire a tower (a dovecote?) and, above all, the Villa Maraveyre, whose slate roof contrasts with the tiles more typical of our region. Continue along the Nicolas traverse to the Napoule staircase on the left. Admire the rockwork (8) that replaces the classic white-edged blue street name signs (9) and (10). Descend the staircase until you can turn right up the montée de la Rotonde. Admire the view of the Mediterranean through the large rockwork portholes cut into the cement and complete your itinerary, which leads to the Corniche, opposite the Plage du Prophète (11). From the Corniche Kennedy, a bus line takes you to either the Rond-Point du Prado or the Vieux-Port.

Stroll along the south shore of the Old Port

This easy walking tour combines beautiful facades along the streets with panoramic views and grand monuments. The route is suitable for strollers. * The itinerary begins on the Canebière, a mythical and historic artery, lined with majestic facades, which in its heyday was home to grand hotels and the most beautiful cafés in Marseille. At number 9 is the Palais de la Bourse, the chamber of commerce and industry. Rue Beauvau leads to the Opera House. It was partially destroyed by fire in 1919, hence its Art Deco facade. At the back of the building. * Turn right onto rue Francis Davso which leads to the Cours Estienne d'Orves. A real city within the city, the Arcenaulx were the former warehouses of the arsenal of the royal galleys at the time of Louis XIV. Today, this Italian-style square is an attractive district with its cafés, restaurants and artists' galleries. * Parallel to this is the Rue Sainte, which leads to the Abbaye Saint-Victor, join it. Stop at the Four des Navettes, the oldest bakery in Marseille (1781) where you can taste the navettes, a dry orange blossom cookie typical of Marseille and very popular with gourmets. To the right of the Bertie Albrecht square, enjoy the panoramic view of the Old Port and the old city. * Then head for Fort Saint-Nicolas (17th century), the work of the Chevalier de Clerville. During the construction of the Palais du Pharo, the fort was cut in two, in order to create an access road and that is why today, Fort Saint-Nicolas is composed of Fort d'Entrecasteaux for the upper part and Fort Ganteaume for the lower part. * When you arrive in front of the gates of the Palais du Pharo, cross the public garden which offers other magnificent views of Marseille.

A stroll through 19th-century Marseille

This urban walk starts on the Canebière: it will lead you to the Palais Longchamp and its monumental fountain. The route follows the Cours Saint Louis, the "Petit Cours" which takes its name from Louis d'Anjou. This is where the first santon fair was held in 1803. Then we enter the Noailles district. In a colorful effervescence, dive into the Mediterranean cultures and discover the different stalls. Once you have crossed the boulevard Garibaldi, you reach the rue du Théâtre Français. Italian style theater and baptized for a time "French theater" to mark its vocation dedicated to the French literature. Then you reach the upper part of the Canebière again. There we find a self-service book terminal in the shape of a giraffe to pay homage to the famous Zarafa, evoked in the urban stroll that leads to the Prefecture and the Monument aux Mobiles which celebrates the soldiers of the Garde Mobile of the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. At the very end of the Canebière, you find yourself facing the Saint-Vincent de Paul church, nicknamed "les Réformés" because it is located on the site of the chapel of the Augustins Réformés. Its 2 spires rise 70 meters above the Canebière. As you walk up the majestic avenue of plane trees on boulevard Longchamp, you will see on your right the mansion that houses the Grobet-Labadie museum. To end this urban stroll, you can discover the Palais Longchamp which was built to celebrate the arrival of the waters of the Durance in Marseille. Discover also its museums and its English garden.
