About Street Art Marseille Tour
Two-hour guided exploration of Cours Julien's street art scene, featuring massive murals by international artists like Inti, Jef Aérosol, and local collective Le M.U.R. Learn how this former working-class neighborhood transformed into Southern France's street art capital starting in the 1990s.
Insider Tips
Start at Place Jean Jaurès metro exit and work your way up Cours Julien, the density of major pieces increases as you climb toward Rue des Trois Mages
Many visitors stick to the main Cours Julien strip and miss Rue Pastoret and Rue Crudère, where some of the most impressive recent additions live on quieter side streets
Visit between 2pm and 5pm when the afternoon light hits the east-facing murals perfectly, and most of the trendy cafes are open if you want to extend the cultural immersion
