EDITORIAL Dining in Marseille Why not get a taste of Marseille? A port with a rich history, the oldest city in France is also revealed in its restaurants. We have designed a circuit of a little over 110 restaurants, which all have in common the taste of Provence and elsewhere. In these pages, you can explore all the special flavour of the garlic, the olive oil, and dishes that are sometimes very simple, like roasted sea bream with a few slices of crystallised lemon, and sometimes very sophisticated. Because Marseille is a meeting place, a city where you will find gastronomy made from the heart. Here more than elsewhere, chefs bring nobility to the most ordinary dishes.They achieve great feats with lamb and a sprig of thyme. Marseille is proud of cuisine rooted in its identity, and if you can feel its sensitive vibrations, you are sure to be won over. So welcome, enjoy your stay here and, above all, get a taste of Marseille! Pierre PSALTIS

> CHICHIS BEIGNET STALLS There are just 3 stalls, and yet they are maintaining a centuries-old tradition. At L’Estaque, you can eat chichis frégis, a beignet shaped like a snail's shell and plunged in oil. Crispy on the outside, tender inside, the chichi frégi can be enjoyed with sugar, filled with Nutella, chocolate or Chantilly cream. At L’Estaque, the 3 stalls also serve the famous panisses (fried rolls of pastry made from chickpeas) and home-made crisps. A sweet or savoury treat when you come back from the beach. Chichis from €2.50 to €3.80, panisses from 6 to 12 pieces (from €1.80 to 3.20), crisps (from €2.20 to 6).
