Fodor's Review:

Even if you've never read or seen Marcel Pagnol's trilogy of plays and films Marius, Fanny, and César (think of it as a three-part French Casablanca), you can get a feel for its earthy, Old Marseille feeling by stopping into the bar it was set in. The walls are blanketed with murals and comfortable café chairs fill the place, all in an effort to faithfully reproduce the bar as it was in the days when the bartender César, his son Marius, and Fanny, the shellfish girl, lived out their salty drama of love, honor, and the call of the sea.
