On the wall



The district
Le Panier occupies the hill on the north side of the Vieux-Port and is the oldest part of Marseille. Greek settlers from Phocaea founded Massalia here around 600 BC, and the hill has been lived on ever since. On the map, the quarter looks nothing like the straight boulevards around it. Streets bend, split and climb, often turning into stairways where the slope gets too steep.
At the center of the quarter stands the Vieille Charité, a former almshouse built in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries around a courtyard with a domed chapel, now home to museums. To the west, the hill drops toward the sea, the Cathedral of La Major and the port. The southern edge was reshaped after parts of the old quarter by the harbor were demolished in 1943.
A Le Panier map poster shows an area of small scale and tight texture. Blocks are irregular, lanes are narrow, and the water of the Old Port gives the composition a firm, clean edge on one side. From above, the quarter looks like a dense fingerprint set against the more open plan of central Marseille, which makes it an especially graphic print.
The former almshouse forms a distinct rectangle around an open courtyard and central chapel. It is the clearest geometric shape within the irregular street pattern.
Many lanes turn into stepped passages as they climb from the port. On the map they appear as short, broken lines rather than continuous streets.
The rectangular harbor lies just to the south. Its long quays give the print a precise line of water below the dense hillside.
