Come and play to discover Marseille and its hidden places !

The play area is around the hill of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde. Having the opportunity to rise up the hill is definitely a great way to enjoy the best views of the city and the sea. Small winding streets and hidden stairs make the charm of the neighbourhoods of Vauban, Roucas Blanc and Bompard (the last one only visited during the 7 km distance). An ideal hike to sharpen your calves, but above all a real treat for the eyes! A secret and authentic Marseille.

A game and riddle booklet will allow you to move forward from stage to stage, such as a real Sherlock Holmes, and thus find out the hidden path you have to follow. Streets or alleys name, details on monuments or facades, objects of urban furniture, you have to walk with your eyes wide open to resolve the riddles.

The guide will unveil you many unknown places but also some must-see ones, and tell you about the sites met, their History and even their legend, while keeping a playful spirit.

The hike can be demanding with the many stairs taken, but we will walk at a reasonable pace and with small group of participants.

In short: walk... have fun... and discover.
