Le Panier

During Greek times this was a bustling marketplace, now it combines housing with artisan workshops. Walk its narrow, cobbled streets and soak up the rustic ambience. Two highlights of the quarter are the Centre de la Vieille Charite and Cathedrale La Major (sometimes simply known as Marseille Cathedral).
