Lieux incontournable de Marseille. Very interesting place in the city.
Marseille’s old port is hardly a secret, but the art of visiting is in the timing. Aim to go there at around 8.30am, when fishermen empty their buckets on to stands while locals with weathered faces jostle to pick through the flip-flopping fish for the best of the day’s catch. If you’re looking to relax with a portside pastis as the sun goes down, you can’t go far wrong in any of the bars lining the Vieux-Port, but for food you might want to be more picky. Le Poulpe run by old schoolfriends Michel Ankri and Michel Portos, sources most of its food locally, but has received mixed reviews, namely over service. However, a dinner with bonito, a member of the tuna family, served with crisp vegetables on the terrace on a warm early spring evening gives nothing to complain about, and three courses will only set you back about €26, including wine.
