Olivier, notre guide-marcheur, est éminemment sympathique. Il sait transmettre son amour pour Marseille en expliquant très clairement son histoire, sa géographie, son évolution démographique, sa mentalité... et c'est passionnant. Il évoque des histoires amusantes, il a su s'adapter avec délicatesse à la marcheuse du 3ème âge que je suis ! et ma petite-fille de 20 ans a également trouvé cette grande ballade très intéressante.

J'ai rejoint le tour du Marseille ce matin avec Olivier. Il était super! Il nous a montré plein des quartiers très variés et charmants, et peu touristiques. Ca vraiment donné une idée de le caractère du ville, et comment c'a développé pendant les années. Olivier était aussi très bien informé. C'était un matin très bien passé, merci! Clara
