Overview
Have you already explored Le Panier and the historic heart of Marseille? Are you staying in the city for a couple of days? Well, join us as we cross over to the other side of the Old Port and discover a different, monumental, and surprising city.
Led by guides specializing in history and art history, we’ll stroll through squares inspired by Genoa and Provence to discover some of Marseille’s greatest monuments and stories. We’ll visit one of the city’s oldest cookie bakeries, delve into the history of the millennia-old Abbey of Saint-Victor, and make our way to the spectacular Pharo Palace, built for a Spanish empress.
Along the way, we’ll also explore the Opera House and delve into the fascinating history of the Marseille Tarot, the French Resistance during World War II, and other hidden corners, notable figures, and curiosities that reveal a side of the city many visitors overlook.
Designed as the perfect follow-up to our tour of the historic Le Panier neighborhood, this tour is ideal for those spending several days in Marseille who want to go beyond the must-see sights to truly understand the city’s history and heritage.
