Description

Marseilles was founded about 600 B.C. by Greek sailors from Phocaea. It was the first of France's cities. You must take time to understand this town and its passion's, 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. At the far Southern end of Marseilles, 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 Marseilles from the sea by taking a boat trip to the Frioul Islands, Château d'If (where, according to the legend, the Count of Monte Cristo was imprisoned), Maïre, Pommègues and Ratonneau (where Hospital Caroline was built during the Restoration). From the boat, you have a splendid panoramic view of the capital of the Mediterranean. Visit: www.visitprovence.com to learn more.
