We invite you to explore the vibrant and eclectic Noailles district and its bustling market, nestled in the heart of Marseille. Discover the origins of the world’s most famous national anthem, visit the site of the first cinema in history, and step inside historic shops that have stood for over 200 years.
Wander through the lively market, with its array of colorful stalls and aromatic oriental spice shops, and learn about the rich cultural heritage of the area. Along the way, your guide will share the story of the tragedy that struck Rue d’Aubagne, as well as the ongoing struggle of local residents against gentrification, poor housing conditions, and the fear of being displaced from their homes.
This immersive experience is led by a local guide who lives in the neighborhood, offering an authentic insight into its history, culture, and the challenges faced by the community.
