La Joliette district

As we all know, Marseille is 26 centuries old. The city was founded by the Phocaeans in 600 BC before passing under Roman rule throughout the next millennium. It was at this period that the Joliette neighborhood began to develop itself, to say how old and charged with history this place is.

We can say that everything began with Julius Caesar who settled in Marseille during the conflict between him and Pompey for the detention of power in Rome. The place where he established his camp was named after him and was baptized Joliette.

Joliette and the borough to which it is attached, the 2nd one, were long considered as poor, in the same way as other old districts of the city like Le Panier in the 1st district and Belle de Mai in the 3rd. As these are districts located near the port, they are the landing places of immigrants. It should be noted that the phenomenon of immigration in Marseille began a very long time ago and is at the origin of the "melting pot" of the Marseille population.

In the 1990s, an important urban renewal project, the Euroméditerranean, was set up with the aim of giving a new lease of life to these emblematic districts. For more than a decade, Joliette has resembled to a vast expanse in perpetual mutation until it reaches its present image of modernity.
