Nestled at the Old Port in Marseille, the L-shaped Place aux Huiles was once a bustling hub where boats laden with barrels of olive oil would float up a now-paved-over canal. Today, this wide, pedestrian-only square offers a relaxing atmosphere, lined with some of the city’s best restaurants and bars. Visitors can stroll along the smooth pavement, savoring the vibrant ambiance and enjoying a variety of dining and drinking options.
