A Walk Around Cours Honoré-d'Estienne-d'Orves, Marseille, France
The Honoré-d'Estienne-d'Orves course is a tourist pedestrian square of restaurants in the 1st district of Marseille1, in the heart of the Arsenaux district, adjoining the Old Port of Marseille, named after the officer of the French navy, hero of the Second World War and martyr of the Honored Resistance of Estienne d'Orves (1901-1941).
n 1488, King Charles VIII made this district of the Old Port of Marseille, the arsenal of military galleys of the French Royal Navy, followed by the construction of six tercenaux in 1494 (with accommodation of royal garrisons and up to to 8000 galley convicts).
This vast pedestrian zone is to this day one of the principal tourist places of Marseille, imagined by the urban planner Charlie Bové, and inaugurated in 1989. It is arranged with many restaurants (in particular of the Mediterranean Provence cuisine and fish and bouillabaisse the fish market of the Old Port of Marseille), large terraces with restaurants, cafes, bars, shops, art galleries, various cultural events, as well as an ice rink, Santon fair and Christmas market in winter. The former historic headquarters of the arsenal of the galleys of No. 23 and No. 25 of the square is now transformed into an institutional and picturesque bookstore-gallery-boutique-restaurant Les Arcenaux 4 of Marseille.

La Gloire des maudits - Nicolas d'Estienne d'Orves
Nicolas d'Estienne d'Orves présente La Gloire des maudits lors de la présentation de la rentrée littéraire des éditions Albin Michel. En librairie à partir du 24 août.
Fille d’un collaborateur exécuté sous ses yeux à la Libération, Gabrielle Valoria doit écrire la première biographie de Sidonie Porel. Mais qui est vraiment Sidonie Porel ? La plus célèbre romancière de son époque ou une imposture littéraire ? Une grande amoureuse ou une manipulatrice ?
En plongeant dans le passé de cette femme qu’elle craint et qu’elle admire, Gabrielle découvre un univers où grouillent les menteurs et les traîtres. Ecrivains, politiciens, journalistes, prostituées, grands patrons : tous cachent un secret qui tue…
Dans Les Fidélités successives (Prix Cazes-Lipp), Nicolas d’Estienne d’Orves explorait les ambiguïtés de l’Occupation, avec La Gloire des maudits, il s’attaque aux mensonges de l’après-guerre. Ce tableau romanesque d’une France au lendemain du chaos, où l’on croise les grandes figures du Paris intellectuel et artistique des années 1950, montre que le passé nous rattrape toujours et que les guerres ne se terminent jamais.

Anne-Marie D'ESTIENNE D'ORVES : La culture au cœur
Honoré D'estienne D'Orves & le Réseau Nemrod
Cette vidéo a été réalisée pour le Concours de la Résistance et de la Déportation 2016. Nous avons choisi de rendre hommage à ces résistants des années noires par un support original : la vidéo. Une manière de rendre hommage à l’art épistolaire par une autre forme d’art, l’audiovisuel. Néanmoins, les personnes qui ont écrit ces lettres étaient des résistants avant d'être des écrivains. Mais leurs plumes transmettent un témoignage poignant, une encre qui nous permet d'apprendre et de mieux mesurer ce qu'était la guerre et la souffrance qu’ils ont endurées. À travers cette vidéo nous mettons en valeur Honoré d'Estiennes d'Orves, pionnier de la Résistance qui a fondé le réseau Nemrod. Il était composé principalement de Bretons, notamment de Sénans comme François Follic. Dans ce réseau, on retrouvait Yan Doornick et Maurice Barlier qui furent fusillés le 29 août 1941 avec Honoré d’Estienne d’Orves. C'est avant leur mort qu'ils ont écrit des lettres qui seront mises en valeur au cours de la vidéo. Ce documentaire est donc composé de témoignages, d'images historiques, de lettres originales et de leur lecture. Notre engagement nous permet ainsi de faire honneur à ceux qui ont pris des risques pour sauver la France.

A Walk Around the Beautiful City Of Marseille, France
is the prefecture of the department of Bouches-du-Rhône and region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. It is located on the Mediterranean coast near the mouth of the Rhône. The city covers an area of 93 sq mi. and had a population of 870,018 in 2016. Its metropolitan area, which extends over 1,225 sq mi. is the third-largest in France after those of Paris and Lyon, with a population of 1,831,500 as of 2010.
Known to the ancient Greeks and Romans as Massalia. Marseille was an important European trading centre and remains the main commercial port of the French Republic. Marseille is now France's largest city on the Mediterranean coast and the largest port for commerce, freight and cruise ships. The city was European Capital of Culture in 2013 and European Capital of Sport in 2017; it hosted matches at the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2016. It is home to Aix-Marseille University.
Marseille is the third-largest metropolitan area in France after Paris and Lyon. To the east, starting in the small fishing village of Callelongue on the outskirts of Marseille and stretching as far as Cassis, are the Calanques, a rugged coastal area interspersed with small fjord-like inlets. Farther east still are the Sainte-Baume 3,763 ft. mountain ridge rising from a forest of deciduous trees, the city of Toulon and the French Riviera. To the north of Marseille, beyond the low Garlaban and Etoile mountain ranges, is the 1,011 m 3,317 ft Mont Sainte Victoire. To the west of Marseille is the former artists' colony of l'Estaque; farther west are the Côte Bleue, the Gulf of Lion and the Camargue region in the Rhône delta. The airport lies to the north west of the city at Marignane on the Étang de Berre.
The city's main thoroughfare (the wide boulevard called the Canebière) stretches eastward from the Old Port to the Réformés quarter. Two large forts flank the entrance to the Old Port—Fort Saint-Nicolas on the south side and Fort Saint-Jean on the north. Farther out in the Bay of Marseille is the Frioul archipelago which comprises four islands, one of which, If, is the location of Château d'If, made famous by the Dumas novel The Count of Monte Cristo. The main commercial centre of the city intersects with the Canebière at Rue St Ferréol and the Centre Bourse (one of the city's main shopping malls). The centre of Marseille has several pedestrianised zones, most notably Rue St Ferréol, Cours Julien near the Music Conservatory, the Cours Honoré-d'Estienne-d'Orves off the Old Port and the area around the Hôtel de Ville. To the south east of central Marseille in the 6th arrondissement are the Prefecture and the monumental fountain of Place Castellane, an important bus and metro interchange. To the south west are the hills of the 7th and 8th arrondissements, dominated by the basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde. Marseille's main railway station—Gare de Marseille Saint-Charles—is north of the Centre Bourse in the 1st arrondissement; it is linked by the Boulevard d'Athènes to the Canebière.

Marseille, France, walking tour
Marseille has the second-largest population in France, and strolling along this fine street makes it seem like you are in a smaller version of Paris. The sidewalks are wide, a tram runs down the middle, shops and cafés line both sides, scooters glide by, lots of people are out strolling, trees provide greenery, four-story buildings create a human scale, and you are gliding along slightly downhill.
Several side streets that are mostly for pedestrians and lined with more shops offer tempting detours, especially rues de Rome, d’Aubagne, Saint-Ferréol, and Paradis. You can easily walk up one for a few blocks, then cross over to the next and return to La Canabière, zigzagging your way along.
How could this get much better?
Yes. It gets even better when you reach the waterfront end of La Canebière at the vast marina, and with more major streets peeling off in various directions. This total walk from the train station to waterfront is only 1,000 meters, which takes 15 minutes at normal walking speed, but probably longer because you want to stop and detour along the way, adding another 15 minutes at least.
A pleasant and comfortable section of the waterfront is across the marina on the south side, with a series of broad avenues, plazas, pedestrian streets and many restaurants. Walk past the top of the port on Quai de la Fraternité to Cours J. Ballard and explore the four blocks leading from here along the waterfront to Place aux Huiles, with side lanes for pedestrians only. Running through the middle is a classic pedestrian street, Rue Saint-Saëns, leading to Place Thiars. The city’s largest outdoor plaza is one block inland with many outdoor restaurants, Cours Honoré d'Estienne d'Orves, in an open space that was created in the 1980s after community activists successfully pressured the government to demolish a huge multi-level parking lot and put the cars underground.

A Walk Around the Old Port of Marseille, (Vieux Port) Marseille, France
The Old Port of Marseille (French: Vieux-Port de Marseille) is at the end of the Canebière, the major street of Marseille. It has been the natural harbour of the city since antiquity and is now the main popular place in Marseille. It became mainly pedestrian in 2013.
In 600 BC, Greek settlers from Phocaea landed in the Lacydon, a rocky Mediterranean cove, now the site of the Old Port of Marseille. They set up a trading post or emporion in the hills on the northern shore. Until the nineteenth century the Old Port remained the centre of maritime activity in Marseille. In the Middle Ages the land at the far end of the port was used to cultivate hemp for the local manufacture of rope for mariners, which is the origin of the name of the main thoroughfare of Marseille, the Canebière.
The great St. Victor's Abbey was gradually built between the third and ninth centuries on the hills to the south of the Old Port, on the site of an Hellenic burial ground.
Between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries, quays were constructed under Louis XII and Louis XIII and an important shipyard for galleons put in place. Following a revolt against their governor by the citizens of Marseille, Louis XIV ordered the erection of the forts of St Jean and St Nicolas at the entrance to the harbour and established an arsenal and fleet in the Old Port itself. The notorious arsenal des galères was situated on the left side of the Old Port between the Cours Jean-Balard and the Cours Estienne-d'Orves: those condemned to be galley slaves in the royal war fleet were branded with the letters GAL.
According to John Murray, in 1854 the Old Port had a capacity of between 1,000 and 1,200 ships. Roughly 18,000 merchant ships passed through the port each year, carrying about 20 million barrels worth of freight; this represented a quarter of the trade in Liverpool at the time. The 6 metre depth of the harbour, however, proved problematic for steamships later in the century; much deeper docks had to be constructed at La Joliette. In World War II the Old Port was left in complete ruins. According to eye-witness accounts, in January 1943, the Nazis, aided by the French police, dynamited much of the historic old town and demolished the gigantic aerial ferry or transbordeur, an engineering tour de force that had become a major landmark of Marseille, comparable to the Eiffel tower in Paris. This became known as the Battle of Marseille. In 1948 Fernand Pouillon was put in charge of the reconstruction of the devastated old quarter.
When, beginning in the 1840s, new harbour moles, quays and the Docks were built along the coast of the La Joliette quarter to the north-west, many port activities were moved out of the Old Port. Over time, new harbour installations were built further north-west, resulting in what is today the Grand Port Maritime de Marseille: continuous harbour installations as far as L'Estaque and the southern entrance to the Rove Tunnel, and satellite extensions around Fos-sur-Mer and along the shore of the Étang de Berre. The Old Port is used today as a marina, as a terminal for local boat trips, and hosts a local fish market. In 2013, for the European Capital of Culture, the Old Port was largely pedestrianized. It has been renovated as a large public square following an international competition won by Michel Desvigne Paysagistes, with Foster and Partners. The project is also to have a second phase with parks to be built around the port in 2020 for a sum of €64 million.

Marseille landscape, Marseille, Bouches-du-Rhône, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France, Europe
Marseille, known in antiquity as Masalia, Massalia or Massilia is the second largest city in France, after Paris, with a population of 850,636 (January 2011) on a land area of 241 km2 (93 sq mi). It is the 3rd-largest metropolitan area in France after Paris and Lyon, with a population of 1,720,941 at the January 2011 census. Marseille was historically the most important trade center in the region and functioned as the main trade port of the French Empire. Marseille is France's largest city on the Mediterranean coast and largest commercial port. Marseille is the capital of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, as well as the capital of the Bouches-du-Rhône department. Its inhabitants are called Marseillais in French and Marselhés in Occitan. Marseille is the second largest city in France after Paris and the centre of the third largest metropolitan area in France after Paris and Lyon. To the east, starting in the small fishing village of Callelongue on the outskirts of Marseille and stretching as far as Cassis, are the Calanques, a rugged coastal area interspersed with small fjord-like inlets. Further east still are the Sainte-Baume (a 1,147 m (3,763 ft) mountain ridge rising from a forest of deciduous trees), the city of Toulon and the French Riviera. To the north of Marseille, beyond the low Garlaban and Etoile mountain ranges, is the 1,011 m (3,317 ft) Mont Sainte Victoire. To the west of Marseille is the former artists' colony of l'Estaque; further west are the Côte Bleue, the Gulf of Lion and the Camargue region in the Rhône delta. The airport lies to the north west of the city at Marignane on the Étang de Berre. The city's main thoroughfare (the wide boulevard called the Canebière) stretches eastward from the Old Port (Vieux Port) to the Réformés quarter. Two large forts flank the entrance to the Old Port Fort Saint-Nicolas on the south side and Fort Saint-Jean on the north. Further out in the Bay of Marseille is the Frioul archipelago which comprises four islands, one of which, If, is the location of Château d'If, made famous by the Dumas novel The Count of Monte Cristo. The main commercial centre of the city intersects with the Canebière at rue St Ferréol and the Centre Bourse (the main shopping mall). The centre of Marseille has several pedestrianised zones, most notably rue St Ferréol, Cours Julien near the Music Conservatory, the Cours Honoré-d'Estienne-d'Orves off the Old Port and the area around the Hôtel de Ville. To the south east of central Marseille in the 6th arrondissement are the Prefecture and the monumental fountain of Place Castellane, an important bus and metro interchange. To the south west are the hills of the 7th arrondissement, dominated by the basilica of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde. The railway station Gare de Marseille Saint-Charles is north of the Centre Bourse in the 1st arrondissement; it is linked by the Boulevard d'Athènes to the Canebière. The port is also an important arrival base for millions of people each year, with 2.4 million including 890,100 from cruise ships. With its beaches, history, architecture and culture (24 museums and 42 theatres), Marseille is one of the most visited cities in France, with 4.1 million visitors in 2012. Marseille is ranked 86th in the world for business tourism and events, advancing from the 150th spot one year before. The number of congress days hosted on its territory increased from 109,000 in 1996 to almost 300,000 in 2011. They take place in three main sites, Le Palais du Pharo, Le Palais des Congrès et des Expositions (Parc Chanot) and the World Trade Center. In 2012 Marseille hosted the World Water Forum. Several urban projects have been developed to make Marseille attractive. Thus new parks, museums, public spaces and real estate projects aim to improve the city cadre de vie (Parc du 26e Centenaire, Old Port of Marseille, numerous places in Euromediterrannee) to attract firms and people. Marseille municipality acts to develop Marseille as a regional nexus for entertainment in the south of France with high concentration of museums, cinemas, theaters, clubs, bars, restaurants, fashion shops, hotels, and art galleries.
