Le Panier

Without a doubt, Le Panier is the most picturesque district in Marseille – and also its cradle. It is here that Greek Massalia was born, in 600 BC. The agora and ancient homes gave way to the Provençal buildings that are so emblematic of the charming city, which attracts more and more artists and visitors each year. Studios, bars, restaurants, cafes and shops of all kinds flourish behind the colourful facades. Take the time to get lost in Le Panier’s small streets and to peek inside a gallery or boutique to discover local creators.
