Beginning in front of City Hall, the route continues to Hôtel Dieu, a former 18th-century hospital that remains an important symbol of Marseille's past. The tour then leads into Le Panier, the oldest quarter of Marseille, where narrow streets, picturesque squares and historic buildings reveal the city's authentic character. Along the way, you'll see the Church of the Accoules and Place des Moulins, before reaching the remarkable Vieille Charité, considered one of the finest examples of Baroque architecture in the city.
