Marseille is a major city in southern France. It is a cosmopolitan port city with an excellent climate, lovely beaches and fabulous historical landmarks.
The Old Port, the heart of the city, is home to numerous cafes, markets, shops and places of entertainment. It also has tow very interesting old forts: St. Nicolas and Saint Jean. Check out the old Saint Marie lighthouse. Don’t forget to sample a traditional bouillabai at a picturesque terrace restaurant. There is good accommodation available in the area.
Visit the small district of Le Panier, which is on a hill.
La Plaine and Le Cours Julien set the fashion in Marseille.
Two buildings represent Romanesque-Byzantine style, the Basilicas of Notre-Dame de la Garde and St. Mary the Greater. The Abbey of Saint Victor de Marseille is the city’s oldest building. You can also visit some great museums and impressive castles, such as the one on If Island.
The view out to the islands is one of Marseille’s great attractions. From the quay in the Old Port you will get some incredibly beautiful views of dramatic cliffs, inlets, grottoes and pretty beaches. The deep blue of the Mediterranean, dotted with boats and ships, will be the abiding memory of your holiday.
