Just like Amsterdam&#8217;s Jordaan, Le Panier was once a working-class neighborhood that has now been gentrified into an artistic enclave. The narrow, winding streets opened into sunny squares filled with lively caf\u00e9s and boutiques. Here, I discovered a local art gallery showcasing one-line drawings. Though far from my style, the pieces spoke volumes about the Marseille art scene&#8217;s versatility. I couldn&#8217;t help but make sketches in my journal, drawing parallels between Le Panier&#8217;s colorful graffiti and the equally dynamic street art in Rotterdam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lepanierdemarseille.com\/?lang=en\">Website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cathedrale_La_Major\"><\/span>Cath\u00e9drale La Major<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The towering La Major Cathedral was an irresistible next stop. An amalgamation of Romanesque and Byzantine styles, the cathedral seemed like an architectural symphony. It was hard not to be drawn into the detailed mosaics that adorned its interior. As an artist, I was particularly impressed by the fine craftsmanship\u2014reminiscent of the attention to detail in Dutch Golden Age art. I spent some moments in quiet reflection, seated beneath a stunning stained glass window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Marseille_Cathedral\">More info<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Calanques_National_Park\"><\/span>Calanques National Park<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Craving an escape from the urban sprawl, I made my way to the Calanques National Park. This was an emotional journey for me. The rugged limestone cliffs and azure Mediterranean Sea created an awe-inspiring backdrop for personal introspection. Each turn in the trail seemed to reveal yet another secret cove or stunning vista. Here, I felt a strange sense of d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu, as if the endless water was a much warmer, more turquoise version of the North Sea. It was as though nature had conspired to create a southern parallel to my Dutch homeland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelongweekend.com\/calanques-national-park-marseille-cassis\/\">Read more about Calanques National Park<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Palais_Longchamp\"><\/span>Palais Longchamp<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This monumental edifice, designed to celebrate the arrival of water in Marseille, was more than just a palace; it was a testament to human ingenuity. Flanked by the Mus\u00e9e des Beaux-Arts and Mus\u00e9um d&#8217;histoire naturelle, the setting was an intellectual feast. Though I was far from Amsterdam&#8217;s Rijksmuseum, I felt the same sense of awe and respect for human achievement and artistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marseille.fr\/culture\/patrimoine-culturel\/le-palais-longchamp\">Website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MuCEM_Museum_of_European_and_Mediterranean_Civilisations\"><\/span>MuCEM (Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, I explored exhibitions that delved into the Mediterranean&#8217;s rich history. As I walked through the museum, I reflected on how the narratives interwove strands of culture, much like the intricate mosaics in La Major. It was an enlightening experience, serving as a powerful reminder of the interconnectedness of European and Mediterranean civilizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mucem.org\/\">Website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/zmanmekomi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/383206532_717436130424407_3970609037875055631_n.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/zmanmekomi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/383206532_717436130424407_3970609037875055631_n.jpeg?resize=1020%2C680&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations\" class=\"wp-image-280741\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/zmanmekomi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/383206532_717436130424407_3970609037875055631_n.jpeg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/zmanmekomi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/383206532_717436130424407_3970609037875055631_n.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/zmanmekomi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/383206532_717436130424407_3970609037875055631_n.jpeg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/zmanmekomi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/383206532_717436130424407_3970609037875055631_n.jpeg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"An_Evening_at_Cours_Julien\"><\/span>An Evening at Cours Julien<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I wrapped up my evenings at Cours Julien, a square teeming with young locals, street art, and live music. The atmosphere was electric, mirroring the creative freedom that defines Amsterdam&#8217;s most bohemian corners. Here, I found myself drawn to a small jazz band playing covers of classic chansons. Their music, much like the city itself, was a harmonious blend of old and new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/ShowUserReviews-g187253-d4611414-r682418858-Le_Cours_Julien-Marseille_Bouches_du_Rhone_Provence_Alpes_Cote_d_Azur.html\">Read more about this experience<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vallon_des_Auffes\"><\/span>Vallon des Auffes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before leaving Marseille, I visited the Vallon des Auffes, a tiny fishing port that seemed untouched by time. The small boats and fishing nets contrasted with the modern city I had been exploring, offering a nostalgic glimpse into Marseille&#8217;s roots. This was the city&#8217;s quiet heartbeat, a place where time seemed to slow down, a rare treasure I often seek but seldom find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marseille-tourisme.com\/en\/discover-marseille\/culture-heritage\/the-districts-of-marseille\/the-vallon-des-auffes\/\">Website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_I_Ate\"><\/span>What I Ate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Adhering to my vegan lifestyle, my gastronomic exploration in Marseille initially seemed limited. However, a local tipped me off about &#8216;Les Tendances \u00c9ph\u00e9m\u00e8res,&#8217; an organic farmer&#8217;s market. Not only did it offer seasonal fruits and vegetables, but I also found vegan cheese and bread. Buying an assortment of these, I relished a picnic in Parc Bor\u00e9ly, my taste buds dancing to a Proven\u00e7al tune as the wind whispered through the trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/ashourya.fr\/\">Daily Syrien<\/a>,&#8217; a small family-run eatery that had vegan options, I discovered a completely different world of flavors. The vegan falafel plate was a myriad of taste and texture\u2014crisp falafels, smooth hummus, and a spicy pepper dip. I had to applaud how the typically Middle-Eastern flavors melded seamlessly into the Marseillais culinary tapestry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_I_Didnt_Like\"><\/span>What I Didn&#8217;t Like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As much as I wanted to lose myself in the labyrinthine beauty of Marseille&#8217;s Old Port or admire the regal architecture that adorned its cityscape, there was an underbelly that I couldn&#8217;t ignore. Like the stark contrasts I\u2019ve observed in Rotterdam, Marseille too grapples with glaring inequalities. The fringes of the city are glaring reminders that prosperity is not evenly distributed here. Dilapidated buildings stand in jarring juxtaposition to high-end boutiques and waterfront cafes. Children play on streets that bear the weight of poverty, their laughter overshadowed by the foreboding atmosphere. It&#8217;s a social paradox that creates a jarring dissonance in the visitor&#8217;s soul, challenging the idyllic perception that travel brochures peddle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it&#8217;s the social inequities that irk my conscience, there\u2019s a more immediate annoyance that greeted me at nearly every corner: cigarette smoke. Having traveled across cities with strict anti-smoking regulations, the pervasive fog of tobacco in Marseille felt like a punch to the gut. I found myself dodging these aromatic clouds as I explored, the scent lingering on my clothes long after I\u2019d returned to my accommodation. Coming from a culture that is increasingly smoke-averse, this was a jarring experience. In the Netherlands, the war against cigarette smoke is waged with fervor, making the ubiquity of it in Marseille feel like a relic from an era I was glad we\u2019d moved past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_I_Stayed\"><\/span>Where I Stayed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For my Marseille adventure, I broke away from my usual low-budget digs and settled for something a tad more extravagant\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/fr\/hotel-la-residence-du-vieux-port.en.html?aid=1458706&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Hotel La R\u00e9sidence du Vieux-Port<\/a>. Recommended by a seasoned traveler, this moderate-budget hotel promised panoramic views of Marseille&#8217;s historic Vieux-Port, which was the main selling point for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entering the hotel, I was greeted by a riot of colors\u2014reds, blues, yellows\u2014everywhere I looked. It was as if a Crayola box had exploded in the lobby, something that both charmed and overwhelmed me. The art that graced the walls ranged from intriguing to outright gaudy, a mixed bag that both excited and somewhat confused my artistic sensibilities. I couldn&#8217;t help but think of Amsterdam&#8217;s more subdued and harmonious art scenes, particularly the ones in Jordaan, which have a consistent character that was lacking here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/zmanmekomi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/rsz_elisa-schmidt-jgqaea3yc0-unsplash.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/zmanmekomi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/rsz_elisa-schmidt-jgqaea3yc0-unsplash.jpg?w=840&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-280725\" style=\"width:840px\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/zmanmekomi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/rsz_elisa-schmidt-jgqaea3yc0-unsplash.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/zmanmekomi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/rsz_elisa-schmidt-jgqaea3yc0-unsplash.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The room was spacious and offered those much-talked-about harbor views. But I should mention, the large windows, while providing a grand vista, failed to adequately block out the harbor noise. You&#8217;d have to make peace with the cacophony of boat horns and distant chatter if you&#8217;re looking for a serene getaway. The bed was comfortable, but the linens, while clean, showed signs of wear\u2014little threads coming out and some minor stains. The amenities were generally up to par, except for the &#8220;organic toiletries,&#8221; which honestly didn&#8217;t live up to their name; they had a synthetic scent that I found a bit off-putting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet despite these drawbacks, I can&#8217;t overlook the exceptional location. It&#8217;s hard to beat the joy of waking up to a shimmering sunrise over the harbor. Additionally, the Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, a godsend for a digital nomad like myself. And although not perfect, the hotel&#8217;s shortcomings didn&#8217;t ruin my stay. It&#8217;s a decent choice if you&#8217;re willing to compromise a bit for the sake of a great view and prime location. Would I stay here again? Perhaps, but with adjusted expectations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Danny DeVegan Le Panier: The Old Town My first stop was Le Panier, Marseille&#8217;s historic district.
