You're standing at Huis Marseille, at Keizersgracht 401 in Amsterdam. Look up at the façade and find the stone showing a map of a city. That's Marseille. The French merchant Isaac Focquier had this house built around 1665. A ship he had loaded in Marseille made him a rich man, and he wanted everyone to know it.
