La Canebière is Marseille's most famous street. It stretches from the harbour front at the Vieux Port to the Reform Church (Réformés), which can be seen in the distance. Marseille's principal shopping areas can be found near the Vieux Port, off La Canebiere.

Among the architecturally appealing buildings that are located along the street is the Palais de la Bourse. Canebière Street runs through Marseille's 1st Arrondissement.
