Overview of the tour in Marseille
Come with us as we traverse across Marseille during its most powerful epoch when La Canebière was a street like no other in Europe, filled with a medley of different people. It was through the port of Marseille that all kinds of exotic colonial goods entered Europe, turning the city into one of the most important in the entire world. A bohemian city par excellence, Marseille nowadays reflects its past, while fighting against the prejudices and gentrification of its heart, that vital engine that is La Canebière.
The Longchamp Palace, the final point of the tour, perfectly defines the special nature of a city that, instead of building mausoleums to praise heroes and kings, chose to dedicate its most imposing monument to the arrival of water for all its inhabitants.
