Tour around a legendary area in the heart of Marseille, craddle of the Phoceans city, founded here 2600 Years before: "Le Panier". Situated in the 2d district between the Old Harbour "Vieux Port" of Marseille and the dokks, this broadly known millennia-old district, is situated on top of a hill, consisting of a maze of hidden laneways, suitable for pedestrians. With its bright colourful old houses, its hype designer shops, arty restaurants, street art alleys, culinary shops, it looks like a village within the city. This little Jewell lies just a few footsteps away from the shore. I will tell you all about unbelievable urban legends and funny anecdotes called in local dialect "galejades", cause Marseille love to joke! The southern accent helps a lot and I am pretty good at imitating the big Marcel Pagnol! This place is the paradise of 2d hand shops and local boutiques selling "home-made" delicacies for you to taste! A beloved place to also dmire barock and classical art heritage.
