About this tour
This session walks Le Panier, Marseille's old town, picking out murals and the stories behind the artists who painted them. You see courtyards and side streets easy to miss on a normal walk through. It is a fast introduction to the quarter's street art scene.
A short sound check opens the call, then the guide moves lane by lane, pointing out work most visitors walk past. Questions come in live, and a short list of streets worth a self-guided visit follows by message afterwards.
This suits anyone curious about street art before planning their own walk through Le Panier. It also suits viewers who already know Marseille and want a fresh route through it.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way

Le Panier murals 21 min
The camera moves through Le Panier, Marseille's oldest quarter, picking out murals painted across its steep lanes. The guide tells the story of a couple of the artists behind the largest pieces.

Time to ask anything about Marseille: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 4 min
