France's second largest city with almost 1 million inhabitants is located in the Provence region in the south of the country.
The port city is situated in a beautiful location on the Mediterranean coast between the mountainous Calanques National Park and the beautiful Côte Bleue.
Marseille is one of the most vibrant cities in France, mixing European culture with the large immigrant communities that have lived here for decades.
Stroll along the lively promenades along the old port with its several fortresses, visit two unique basilicas and let yourself be carried away by the magical atmosphere of the narrow streets of Le Panier.
