Marseille Tourisme
The metropolis in the southeast of France and even more so the Mediterranean Basin. It was founded around 600 BC by Greek sailors from Phocaea in Asia Minor, which is why it is still called the “Phocaean City” today.
A city of many attractions: the sea, the sun, nature and culture. Marseille is also proud of its strong tradition of accessibility and its people’s warm hospitality.
A land of varied and stunning landscapes. From the Vieux-Port aux Calanques to the “Bonne Mère” basilica, natural green spaces stretch as far as the eye can see around the city and traces of its rich history are everywhere in its architecture, culture and the people who live there.
One of the most cosmopolitan cities in France with its ancient heritage, distinctive culture, strong identity and ethnic mix.
