Between the Old Port and the train station, the Belsunce district holds many secrets...

Strolling along the Cours today, it's hard to imagine that Edith Piaf, Brassens, Dalida, or Tino Rossi ever performed here. Churches whose facades blend seamlessly with the adjoining buildings, impressive atlantes, a Greek temple that isn't quite one, and an industrial chimney that seems to have sprung up out of nowhere...

This lively neighborhood, home to wholesalers and cafes, was once a popular promenade for Marseille's high society. Although its streets and houses have been reduced in size by urban redevelopment projects like the Centre Bourse and the Labourdette towers, Belsunce has nevertheless preserved buildings that bear witness to its history, which you will enjoy discovering together during this tour.
