With a proud history of 26 centuries,
Marseille is the oldest city in France. Packed with fishing boats and
pleasure crafts, the Vieux Port is the heart of Marseille. Two fortresses
guard the entrance to the harbor. Several vantage points offer spectacular
views, including the impressive Basilica Notre Dame de la Garde, topped by a
27-foot-high gilded statue of the Virgin Mary. Sitting at one of the
many outside cafes or strolling the streets of the old port area lets you
experience the unpretentious charm of this city.
