A City Built from the Sea
Founded by the Phocaeans in 600 B.C., the long history of Marseille has produced an interesting and dynamic port-side city bursting with cultural diversity. Watch the fishermen sell their catch by auction at Vieux Harbor or cruise along the Corniche roads with views of the Calanques, dramatic rocky inlets to the sea.
The le Cours Julien and la Plaine areas provide a trendy hangout and every Thursday and Saturday morning, the Plaine market offers its various wares. This is the area to buy a novel from a hip bookshop or watch your kids on one of the playgrounds. There are also plentiful cafes to sip a cappuccino and watch the world go by.
If a culture packed vacation is on the agenda, the Musée d'Archéologie Méditerranéenne, Notre Dame de la Garde and Palais Longchamp won’t disappoint. The unique Unité d'Habitation, designed by famous architect Le Corbusier, contains everything from a shopping street to housing and has spectacular views of the terracotta landscape that makes Marseille so distinctive.

terrible food, absurdly expensive for the quality, too many tourists, overall run down city, although the people themselves were nice. I speak French, no trouble there, but a town to be avoided unless you have a reason to be there (I was there for a wedding). Only good cultural institution in town is La Vielle Charite. Otherwise a wasteland.

The beach is not that good but it is a city with a lot of history and interesting facts, I recommend to take a walking tour. The Notre Dame church is beautiful and has an amazing view of the city, worth the walk. And of course, buy some artesanal soup.

Marseille was great .
Marseille was great . Peaple I met there were so kind , helpful , polite, full of good will. I was really impressed. I read many bad informations before I went there. It was false. My wife and I were fall in love with
Marseille and Marseille people.
I think Marseille people are constructing melting society.
“The hotel is very close to subway and bus stations and the old port of Marseille. It was pretty easy to find restaurants nearby. The staff was quite friendly.”
“This apartment was in a perfect location. We could see the port from our window, were close to metro, bus stops, parking, many bakeries and restaurants, shopping and more. The apartment was lovely and we had all the amenities of a hotel plus a full kitchen will supplies and we had a lot more room. Maguy (the owner) was a pleasure to meet and very easy to work with. I would definitely recommend this apartment if you plan to be in the Marseille area.”
“Great location near Saint charles station. Very easy access from the airport and walking distance to the old port. Hotel clean and tidy with a nice terrace area outside. Good wifi.”
“A beautiful old property in the heart of Vieux Port. Beatrice was a fantastic host and took the time to give us a map and show us places to eat and see in Marseille. The garden was a nice cool place to rest in the afternoon with a cold beer...bought at the soap store next door!”
