Marseille on foot: neighborhoods to explore

If you really want to understand Marseille , do it on foot.
Here is a simple, logical, tested route.
You can pick one at a time or chain them all together.


Le Panier → Vieux-Port (the starting point)

Start with The Basket .

Things to do on foot:

  • Rue du Panier

  • Accoules Ascent

  • Lenche Square

Coffee break:

Next, head down towards the Old Port .
Walk along the quays.
Look at the boats.
Simple and effective.


Noailles → La Canebière (the vibrant heart of Marseille)

Head back towards Noailles .

To have :

  • Noailles Market

  • Aubagne Street

Quick and easy food:

  • At Yassine's (Tunisian sandwich)

  • The Capuchin Market (all around)

Then walk calmly along La Canebière .
It's raw, not Instagram-worthy.
But this is Marseille.


Cours Julien → La Plaine (cool break)

No need for a car.
No need for a complicated plan.
Just good shoes.

The Beauséjour Marseille t-shirt (the one you wear afterwards)

After walking all day, you realize something:
Marseille, you don't want to leave it behind.

That's exactly why we made the Marseille boxy t-shirt from Beauséjour .
