Many suggestions colors and charm

Le Panier. Marseille 2025 , April. It is an old quarter of the city, now fashionable to sip an aperitif, a glass of Pastis, eat an ice cream or buy the famous soap. Many suggestive murals. It was a fishing district. When Marseille, in 2013 became European Capital of Culture, Le Panier also became embellished and became touristic. The neighborhood is multicultural. Here everything is colorful, noisy and charming and you would not finish phytographing.

Grazie per aver condiviso il suo commento.

Il quartiere del Panier è effettivamente uno dei luoghi piu affascinanti di Marsiglia, ricco di storia, cultura e atmosfera.E sempre un piacere leggere impressioni positive su questa parte cosi autentica della città.

Le auguro una buona continuazione e buone vacanze.

I recommend a visit to the shopping cart district

If you like colors and are a little artist, I recommend a walk in the neighborhood.

Street art from all over, artisan shops, cafes and restaurants for a relaxing break and tasting.😍

It goes up, it goes down, little streets, stairs...
