Le Panier Marseillais.....


One of the nicest neighbourhoods to stroll through, and stop for lunch and a glass of rose is Le Panier, the old Greek city at the heart of Marseille. After the hustle and bustle of the old port, Le Panier is calm and tranquil with winding cobbled streets, steep steps, and narrow alleyways in washed-out bleached pastels....



And tucked away there are a host of quirky boutiques, artists' workshops, galleries, cafes and restaurants - a surprise around every corner....


When you have had your fill of wandering through and fully sampling the neighbourhood, take your pick from all the outdoor terraces to sit down and order a very tasty lunch...


We chose Le Panier Marseillais on the main square...


...and enjoy!! - both the food and the people-watching!!


And of course don't forget dessert!
