La Partie de Cartes (The Card Game)

This charming life-sized statue, known as La Partie de Cartes, or the Card Game, features two beloved characters: César and Panisse, part of Marcel Pagnol’s famous Marseilles Trilogy. These plays, written by the iconic 20th-century French filmmaker and playwright, are classics of southern storytelling. The statue captures the unforgettable moment when César and Panisse sit down for a card game. The best part is that you’re invited to join them! Take a seat on one of the two empty chairs across from them and become part of the scene. It’s the perfect chance for a unique photo before continuing your stroll through the city.
