THE BASKET
An authentic district steeped in history, home to designer boutiques, galleries and fine restaurants.
Between authenticity and postcard-style decor, the Basket stretches along the north shore of the Old Port. It is the heart of historic Marseille, 26 centuries of occupation without ever having been abandoned, despite the historical turpitudes. In this maze of alleys, you will climb stairs and cross squares from another time. An impression of a village, hints of Italy and Corsica for this district historically linked to the transalpine communities and the Isle of Beauty. The district is lined with designer shops, galleries and friendly restaurants.

Il ne faut pas hésiter à lever un peu la tête pour découvrir des choses surprenantes.
Je pense utile de prendre quelques informations ou de faire une visite guidée pour en apprendre un peu plus sur le quartier.
Visiter à partir de 10h00 car de nombreuses boutiques ouvrent (artisanat, spécialités marseillaises) : goûtez lors navettes au début de la rue caisserie
Petites rues de style italien : étroites et colorées
Belles photos du vieux port à faire en haut du quartier
