Visit Marseille

A multicultural city

The port city of Marseille was founded by Greeks back in 600 BC when the first immigrants arrived in the area and established a trading colony.

It is the second largest city in France, and the capital of Provence. It has a unique Mediterranean character and is probably the most multicultural ciy in Europe.

As it has always been a port city, open to the world and different from the other cities in the south of France.

Admire the beautiful architecture, great panoramic views and enjoy delicious local specialties! Many places are worth a visit. To name just a few: the Old Port, The Basilica Notre Dame de la Garde, The Cathedral la Major, the MUCEM & grotte Cosquer, the Panier District, Fort Saint Jean,  the Calanques and the islands of the Frioul archipelago.
