Marseille of the Levant Trade, 1750

This walk visits Marseille at the height of its 18th‑century Mediterranean trade: the Vieux‑Port crowded with Levantine and Mediterranean masts, the forts guarding the harbour mouth, and workshops of soap and sugar behind the quays. You will move from the bay into the heart of the port, through the Canebière and Le Panier, and finish high above the city at the little chapel of Notre‑Dame de la Garde.

33 scenes — 21 streets, squares and views, 12 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Marseille as it stood in 1750 (“History of Marseille”).
