This short is the first effort by Henri Verneuil ,who later would direct Fernandel in his most commercially successful movie "la vache et le prisonnier".
A documentary about the actor 's native town where he plays the role of the unpaid guide ; the fishing port and the market where the fishmongers peddle their wares, La Canebière, Notre Dame De la Garde aka "La Bonne Mère ",and finally the harbor where the ships leave Marseille to sail to the faraway lands .
The most interesting moment has nothing to do with tourism .The schoolteacher organizes a Christmas party for the poor pupils of the city : there's a lottery , the first prize is ..a pair of shoes ; just after WW2 , hard times were not over for everyone .
