Marseille

MARSEILLE AND ITS MAGNIFICENT COAST

Much more than just a large port, Marseille overflows with joie de vivre. Extrovert and rebellious, the city has a very singular, human and affectionate character. Tucked between sea and hills, it is currently undergoing an exciting rebirth, backed by an economic upsurge and dynamic cultural fabric. This open-minded and exuberant city happily welcomes people from everywhere and is a hub of festive musical and sporting events. Marseille is deeper, more intimate and more secretive that it cares to show. It is worth taking your time to get to know the city and explore the beauties that lie along its shores, from the Côte Bleue coast to the Calanques (little coastal fjords) of Cassis.
