The birthplace of Fernand-Joseph-Désiré Contandin, a popular singer and actor known as Fernandel.

Fernand-Joseph-Désiré Contandin, better known as Fernandel, was born at Chave Boulevard 72.

This historic boulevard in Marseille, splitting the districts of the Camas, Conception and Saint-Pierre until the Blancarde has found the tramway that used to make its celebrity in the past, with the famous 68.

Popular singer and actor, Fernandel has since 2008 been a particularly successful bust erected in his honor, at the angle of the boulevards Chave and Eugène-Pierre, works by sculptor Jacques Choquin. The one that Marcel Pagnol defined as "one of the greatest and most famous actors of our time" and that "it can only be compared to Charlie Chaplin" is a famous figure in this neighborhood where you can find a village atmosphere, two steps from the tumult of the center of Marseille. Lovers of the character will enjoy a small pilgrimage.

La Visite est de courte durée mais le contenu est intéressant. Dommage que ce ne soit pas plus adapté aux enfants. Très bon accueil.
