A taste of elsewhere in Marseille
For a truly exotic cultural experience, Noailles, nicknamed the “belly of Marseille”, is a place where cultures meet, combining diversity and tradition to make Marseille a multicultural city, in all its grandeur and decadence.
Follow your guide to understand the settlement and gradual decline of a district that was once aristocratic but which has become popular thanks to history.
Come and discover the architectural treasures of classical and Haussman style, the centuries-old shops such as the Herboristerie du Père Blaize’s — herbalist shop, and immerse yourself in this festival of colours, smells and flavours to delight the senses. Come and sample oriental specialities in the stalls and meet the locals.
Program
Departure from the Vieux-Port, stop off at the fish market; depending on what fish is available, we’ll tell you the recipe for bouillabaisse. We’ll then head up the iconic avenue de la Canebière, offering you a wealth of anecdotes about the origin of the name and the history of the street and its private mansions, before strolling through the narrow streets of the Oriental spice market. Local appetisers (not included) at the end of the tour and optional lunch in an oriental restaurant.
