#49 of 262 in Things to do in Marseille

Located near the Old Port (Port Vieux), Place aux Huiles is situated to the west of the old canal, popularly known as the Customs Channel. The same route was followed by Honore Estienn – d’Orves and John Ballard as they allowed the galleys passage to access the arsenals. The channel was used for the transport of loaded or unloaded barrels of oil, from which it derives its name. The same channel was used mainly by soap factories prior to this. This channel was filled between 1927 and 1929. The location is rich in French heritage, and was an important point until the end of the twentieth century. For travelers who use our custom trip planner, Marseille holidays become easier to arrange, with trips to the Place aux Huiles and other attractions mapped out and timetabled.

Très belle place, bien entretenu à deux pas du vieux port. L’endroit est mignon mais je préfère d’autres place plus confidentielle comme la place des Moulins more »

Very nice place, well maintained two steps from the old port. The place is cute but I prefer other more confidential place as the place of the mills

A great place that should be a bit more highlighted. Many restaurants and bars close to the old port.
