Marseille is France’s big Mediterranean port city, mixing the Vieux-Port, Notre-Dame de la Garde, the Mucem, ferries to Château d’If, and access to the Calanques. It is energetic, diverse, and more rugged than the polished Riviera towns east of it.
Visit for a raw Mediterranean city feel: harbor light, seafood, island forts, street life, and quick access to sea cliffs.
