This neighborhood, between the port and the city center, has always known the excitement of commerce, industry, and urban life. Our tour will take you to discover the witnesses of these activities. Comfortable buildings for the bourgeois classes, shops, warehouses for colonial goods (because this trade developed between the two wars), party venues… An opportunity to look up at the decorations, the rhythm of the geometric shapes, the play of stones that adorn these facades. They reflect the passion of the post-war years, the boom in commerce, the dynamism of the arts… before the plunge into a darker period.
