Travel to Marseille

Fly to the capital of Provence. Visit the Old Port with its sailing vessels and fishing boats and picture the ancient Phocians setting out from Ionia in Asia Minor in 600 BC to found yet another Greek colony in the Mediterranean … 

Today, the ancient harbour is experiencing a rebirth, due to the ambitious redevelopment projects that are transforming France’s second biggest city into a dynamic, open-air 21st century metropolis, without sacrificing any of its Mediterranean temperament. Futuristic buildings and ultra modern culture centres designed by top architects are giving a new lease of life to the city’s waterfront.

Looking down from the top of La Garde hill you see that Marseille is a city of contrasts. On the one hand, you have baroque churches and the bohemian atmosphere of the old Panier quarter: a charming kaleidoscope of pastel buildings, shops, bistros and art galleries, with the bustle of La Canebière in the background. 

On the other hand you have the Piers, the 1863 warehouses, once piled high with merchandise from the Middle East, Africa, the Orient, which are being remodelled into the avant-garde urban face of this southern metropolis.  

Visit Marseille and explore a multicultural melting pot teeming with sailors, immigrants, seafarers and travellers, which Alexander Dumas called “the meeting place of the entire world”.
