Unusual Marseille: an urban walk in the Panier district

Anecdotes and literature: another face of Marseille

Jean-Marie is no ordinary tour guide. He’s a comedian and raconteur who loves to share his love of Marseille with humour and enthusiasm. His original anecdotes and readings of literary extracts transport you into the soul of the city and encourage you to push back the barriers of time and space.

As you wander through the narrow, winding streets, steeped in history and secrets, Jean-Marie weaves a captivating tale, combining anecdotes, reflections on the use of space and keen architectural observations. Every nook and cranny, every stone tells a story, and I’m delighted to discover the comments that echo a rich and tumultuous past.

I discover the secrets of the Old Port and the ingenuity of Marseille’s builders, who constructed those famous 3-window buildings. But I won’t tell you any more – you’ll have to sign up for this urban walk to find out more…
