Just north from the Vieux Port, you will discover Marseille’s Old Town, a fantastic history-woven neighborhood where hidden squares, artsy ambience and sun-baked cafés all come together. The old and tall houses of Le Panier tell stories of ancient Greeks, who settled here around 600BC, making for a unique place to spend a holiday. Le Panier can be explored on foot too, meaning this is a fine part of the city to get lost in!
La Maison Diamantée
Located just behind the town hall, on Rue de la Prison, you will discover La Maison Diamantée, a beautiful 16th-century civilian palace with a facade featuring diamond facets. Redolent of the disappeared ancient city and patrician houses that were dedicated to the sea and trading, this architectural marvel served as the headquarters of the organizing association of Marseille’s Capital of Culture honor in 2013. Since 1925, its stairs and facade have been the subject of a classification as historical monuments, which makes it a veritable must-see in Marseille.......>> http://ln.is/nUQeU
