Marseille
Founded by Phocaeans in 600 BC, Marseille is France’s oldest city. Since then it has become home to people from across Europe and North Africa, creating a diverse and vibrant culture. The relaxed port, ancient Le Panier neighbourhood and lively streets create a unique atmosphere not to be missed, plus beyond the old port is the Plage des Catalans, a great city beach with fabulous sunsets.
