Notre dame de la Garde Basilica
A must-do , a classic , simply. Symbol of the city as well as the Eiffel Tower in Paris, this is the first step of our tour. Possible to go by "Petit train" from the Old Port, I advise you to climb on foot to enjoy even better once you get the top. The view is breathtaking, the best view of Marseille, with a 360 degree view. Time stops and you step back on the city. You will also have the opportunity to enter the basilica and appreciate there his particular style, unique in France. It is also a place of pilgrimage for devout fans of OM day of final or big game. Because yes, the "Bonne mère" watching over Marseille, but also on OM...
The Vieux Port (Old Port) of Marseille is a "monument". Between Fort St Jean and Pharo Palace, the entire history of Marseille is fits in this harbor. Browse the walk at the pace leisurely stroll to the south is the opportunity to discover some emblematic elements of the city. The fish market, of course, alive and colorful seven days a week. The Quai of Belgians escapes perpendicular, the famous Canebière. The Old Port is the oldest port of Marseille but also the historical and cultural center of the city.
The Old Port is now a marina that attracts a large crowd met there as well as tourists. His visit offers us a journey through the corridors of time: First, the Stock Exchange Palace or the Charles de Gaulle Place but also the discovery of the City Hall which dates from the late seventeenth century. The Old Port of Marseille is also one of the swarming streets of the city. Marseille's residents love the place with somes restaurants and cafes to party especially on evenings when OM football team wins a title.
Walking on the Corniche
From Endoume to Prado beaches, the Kennedy corniche along the sea on 5 km. It offers one of the most beautiful landscapes of Marseille and the Mediterranean islands. It is also the favorite race of Marseille joggers. On the hills, overlooking the sea, are magnificent villas of the nineteenth century. This place is wonderful. Evening summers, you can see volleyers played on the Prophet beaches or people taking their guitars and singing around a picnic with friends. Strolling on the Corniche , it is also see the "Vallon des Auffes", picturesque port of Marseille, like a postcard. Guests can enjoy the best pizza in Marseille "Chez Jeannot " there.
Located at 5 minutes walk from the Old Port, the Museum of Civilization in Europe and the Mediterranean is a national museum located in Marseille, France. It opened on June 7 SINCE 2013. In three years, the MUCEM National Museum exhibits multiple expositions and became a symbol of Marseille with its exceptional architectural beauty, and I advise you to spend the evening to see the lights who are fabulous. In the same aera than the MUCEM (as you can see on the picture) we found the imposing Cathedral of the Major. The inside of the building is magnificent as much as the outside.
The Panier
Finally I wanted to finish by the "Panier". Behind the Mayor of Marseille is the oldest neighborhood of Marseille, there are small colorful streets very narrow and steep. Le Panier welcomed several waves of immigration which Italian, Corsican and Comorian. The area has remained popular and many new Marseilles settled there for its typical side. This is clearly the heart of Marseille, the last quarter retracing its history. At its heart, the center of the Old Charity Houses among others the beautiful museum of African Arts, Pacific and Indian.
