With one of the most
important ports in Europe, the historical importance of the
area incorporates a rich mixture of cultures and traditions.
The main city of the area is Marseille, an ancient
Mediterranean port which has grown into a cosmopolitan city.
Marseille is one of the most exhilarating cities in France,
offering a mix of cultures and races. There is heavy industry
located around the port of Marseille and important wine
production.
From colourful markets with an African influence to the
Calanques, a natural area of big cliffs falling into the sea,
from the Vieux Port (old port) to Panier area and the Corniche
coastal road, Marseille has definitely a lot to offer.
The historical Vieux Port is perfect for wandering around to
take in cruise boats and fishing vessels. Visit the Bas Fort
St Nicholas, which dates back to the 13th century and is
located at the entrance of the port.
Museum-goers will be delighted to find a great number of
museums in Marseilles. The most notable ones include Musée
Cantini, which has fascinating modern art, Musée Grobet
Labadie, featuring royal furniture and objects d'art, Musée de
Beaux Arts, housed in the Palais Lonchamps and Musée de la
Faience with its porcelain collections.
A steep climb through twisting streets and steps, will take
you to the city’s most famous landmark, Notre-Dame de la Garde,
built in the 19th century, in rue Fort du Sanctuaire.
