Just north of the Vieux Port, this area of pastel- painted houses and architectural artifacts is where the original Phocaens settled 2,600 years ago. This makes it the oldest “old town” in France. You won’t find any trace of the Phocaens – above-ground anyway.
Or much that is genuinely old either, because this was one of the areas virtually destroyed by the Nazis and largely restored or reconstructed. The tourist authority has planned a two-hour walk through the district, marked by plaques and a red path on the pavement. Abooklet for this and several other city walks is available from the tourist office.
