L'Estaque, Administrative quarter in 16th arrondissement, Marseille, France
L'Estaque stands between limestone hills and the Mediterranean Sea, featuring a port area with traditional fishing boats and modern pleasure craft.
The quarter transformed from a small fishing settlement into an industrial zone during the 1860s with the establishment of tile and brick factories.
Between 1870 and 1914, painters including Cézanne, Braque, and Renoir created numerous works inspired by L'Estaque's maritime landscapes.
Visitors can reach L'Estaque from central Marseille via regular train service or Bus 35 departing from Joliette station.
The local gastronomy centers on chichis frégis and panisses, traditional street foods made from sugar-coated dough and chickpea flour.
