URBAN PUZZLES
the charming mess

To complete the tour "Sea and top", we are now together for a very special 10-kilometer cultural discovery walk, right in the city center of Marseille! We will hike through the hyper-center to discover the cultural heritage that Marseille has to offer.
Many districts make up a city center as rich as it is heterogeneous, and make Marseille this bubbling city, colorful, surprising, intense and unique but also difficult to discover, demanding and sometimes even hard if you do not have the keys to understand it properly.
So let's see how one lives in some emblematic neighborhoods, what happens there every day, their various beauties that they make you dizzy, and above all we will try to understand them: while visiting, we explore the long history and geography that fostered the emergence of this charming "urban" puzzle,
and we evoke all the human, political and social wealth that seals the identity of the city of Marseille. A true concentrate of Marseille.
This 100% cultural hike is the result of significant personal learning. These in-depth studies resulted in the creation of a set of tools and playful documents facilitating the understanding of complex urban planning. Youngsters and older people can discover it by marveling and having fun.
*** It is totally compatible with the "Sea and Top" hike: here, we learn how the historic hyper-center has developed, in "Sea and Top", we learn how Marseille has spread beyond. ***
