Guided tour of the "belly of Marseille"

Formerly a bourgeois district of Marseille, Noailles has become over time an emblematic district, both popular and cosmopolitan, it is a crossroads of cultures, flavors and histories.

Its markets, boutiques, restaurants, and stalls offer an unforgettable sensory experience. At every turn, you'll discover flavors from near and far, fresh produce, exotic spices, and captivating aromas. The Noailles market is a meeting place, a space where locals, merchants, and visitors mingle.

In this visit we will trace the evolution of the neighborhood, from its noble past to its popularization, it is now increasingly giving way to gentrification.
