Cours Julien

This point of interest is available as audio on the tour: Visit Marseille, The Phocean City
You’re now entering the city’s most colorful district. Cours Ju, as the locals call it, doesn’t boast any historic monuments or pretty views over the city. Yet it’s a street bursting with colour, with murals on practically every wall. It’s actually the biggest open-air street art gallery in France! These aren’t just for decor – some are thought-provoking, some make you smile, and others just plain beautify the city. Take your time strolling down the Cours Julien and soak it all in. You can also enjoy a coffee break in one of the lively cafés lining the square.
