What you'll see
The old quarter on the hill above the port: stepped lanes, washing between pastel walls, street art, little squares and workshops selling soap and santons, the painted clay figures of Provence.
A brief history
It's the oldest part of the city and was home to wave after wave of new arrivals; in 1943 the German army blew up the streets between it and the port.
