Imports of <strong>olive oil<\/strong>, <strong>soap<\/strong>, <strong>textiles<\/strong> and goods arriving from distant lands were growing considerably. <\/p>\n<p>To support these exchanges, authorities decided in <strong>1666<\/strong> to <strong>dig a canal<\/strong> on the site of what is now place aux Huiles.<\/p>\n<p>The objective was clear: to create a <strong>practical waterway<\/strong> allowing goods to be transported directly to the warehouses located along the banks. It quickly became an essential element of Marseille\u2019s economy. <\/p>\n<h3>A vibrant commercial life around the canal<\/h3>\n<p>Over the decades, activity grew and gave the area a cosmopolitan atmosphere. The canal\u2019s banks became a <strong>true commercial hub<\/strong>: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Oil <strong>warehouses<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Soap-making <strong>workshops<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Textile <strong>merchants<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Local <strong>artisans<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Boats<\/strong> of all origins moored side by side<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Marseillais, Oriental traders, Italian sailors, Greek mariners: a blend of peoples, languages and skills that shaped the singular richness of the neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>It was in this bustling environment that the warm and commercial identity of <strong>place aux Huiles<\/strong> was forged, an identity that still defines it today.<\/p>\n<h3>Oil barges and barquettes marseillaises: symbols of maritime know-how<\/h3>\n<p>To transport oil and other goods, two typical types of boats were used:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Oil barges<\/strong>, specially designed for heavy and valuable cargo<\/li>\n<li><strong>Barquettes marseillaises<\/strong>, small traditional boats expertly handled by seasoned sailors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These colorful boats, still seen today in Proven\u00e7al ports, were the soul of the canal. They reflect the deep connection between <strong>Marseille<\/strong>, its port and its <strong>maritime traditions<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<h3>From decline to transformation: the birth of the modern square<\/h3>\n<p>With the <strong>19th century<\/strong> came new means of transportation: the <strong>railway<\/strong>, followed by expanded port infrastructures. The canal\u2019s role gradually declined. <\/p>\n<p>Commercial activity shifted to other areas of the city and, in <strong>1925<\/strong>, the <strong>canal was finally filled in<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It gave way to the esplanade known today by the people of Marseille: a friendly, sun-soaked <strong>square<\/strong>, perfect for terraces, strolling and meeting up.<\/p>\n<p>The transformation was spectacular, but it did not erase the <strong>maritime heritage<\/strong> of this place with such a strong personality.<\/p>\n<h3>The restaurant Paule &amp; Kopa, heir to this living history<\/h3>\n<p>Today, at <strong>42 place aux Huiles<\/strong>, the <strong>restaurant Paule &amp; Kopa<\/strong> continues in its own way the <strong>Mediterranean soul<\/strong> of the neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>In this historic location, we offer generous, authentic <strong>southern cuisine<\/strong> inspired by the multicultural past that shaped Marseille.<\/p>\n<p>Dining at Paule &amp; Kopa means:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Enjoying <strong>Proven\u00e7al and Mediterranean specialties<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Experiencing a <strong>lively, warm atmosphere<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Immersing yourself in an <strong>emblematic Old Port location<\/strong>, a witness to centuries of trade and exchange<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whether you want to discover the city through its history or simply enjoy a delicious meal steeped in tradition, <strong>place aux Huiles<\/strong> is the ideal spot to feel the <strong>true soul of
