If Marseille is the city where Walter Benjamin lived his last weeks during the summer of 1940 before his tragic death, it was also, from 1928 onwards, the site of new experiences. Olfactory and chromatic experiences, including the one he recounts here, during his wanderings around the old port, the Cours Belsunce and the Canebière, overcome by the intoxication of hashish.
