"The new Mediterranean resort, the gateway to Provence" The 2600 year old city of Marseille welcomes you.

Marseille was founded around 600 B.C.

by Greek sailors from Phocea. It was the first of France's cities, and it is surely the most complex. Poorly known, Marseille does not instantly reveal its charms to the visitors. It takes time to understand Marseille and its passions, discover its strange beauty and take in its excesses. You can start by strolling around the

Vieux Port (Old Port). With its forest of masts, the fishwives selling freshly-landed fish at the open-air fish market and the café terraces flooded with sunshine, the Old Port is a permanent spectacle. To the west, the imposing masses of

the 17th century forts of St Jean and St Nicolas frame the harbor entrance. From the terrace of the Palais du Pharo (Pharo Palace), the former residence of the Empress Eugénie, there is a splendid view of the Harbor and the Mediterranean.

The famous Canebière (Marseille's

main central street) ends at the Old Port on Quai des Belges, the embarkation point for boat trips to the islands in Marseille Bay. The “ferry-boat” immortalized by Marcel Pagnol still runs between the North and South quays. On the opposite side of the Old Port is

the Panier (“Basket”) area, a tiny neighborhood perched on the hill that goes down to the Mairie (Town Hall). It bears the spirit of the city. Narrow alleys and dark steep streets seem to have been designed to keep out the sun. At the far Southern end of Marseille, the

village of Les Goudes is the gateway to the Calanques. Here, the cabins built into the rocky slopes reach almost into the sea. At the very end of the road stands Callelongue. You can also discover Marseille from

the sea. You can take a boat trip to the islands of Frioul, Château d'If (where, according to the legend, the Count of Monte Cristo was imprisoned), Maïre, Pommègues and Ratonneau (where Hôpital Caroline was built during the Restoration). From the boat, you have a splendid panoramic view of the capital of the Mediterranean. To know more about Marseille and its

surroundings: www.visitprovence.com
