Overview

Play a city game in Marseille’s district by the sea and go on a walking tour filled with vast plazas and narrow streets, vibrant street art, cozy boutiques, all overflowing with history. Solve clues to untangle the past of one of the oldest neighborhoods in Marseille. This path will lead you through the streets of the oldest city of France, brimming with architectural magic. Each clue will lead you from one place to another by providing you with exact directions so you won't need a map, GPS, or guide.

La Maison Diamantee

Besides its name, the history of this house is a curiosity in itself. Located just behind the City Hall, the Maison Diamantée (Diamond House) owes its name to its facade of pointed stones. It was built between the end of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th century (perhaps 1570 but there is still some doubt). This makes it one of the oldest houses in Marseille with the Hôtel Cabre. It was built on the demand of wealthy Italian and Spanish traders. With its architectural beauty and style inspired by the Medici Italy, it has long housed the famous Marseilles families such as the Saboulin. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to a question/challenge/puzzle to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
