What you'll see
The city's grand old main avenue running up from the port, and just off it the Noailles market streets, crammed with spice shops, North African bakeries and stalls of fruit and fish.
A brief history
Its name comes from the hemp fields, 'canebe' in Provençal, that once grew here for the port's ropes.
