Marseille

A vibrant world! Combining tradition and modernity, Marseille is the oldest city and the 2nd most populous in France. Home to France’s largest commercial port, it forms the third largest metropolitan area.

Discover Marseille through its parks and museums, monuments such as Palais Du Pharo and Palais Longchamp, Saint-Lauren Church, Saint-Jean and Saint Nicholas fortress, and the If-Castle and Frioul Islands. With sea, hills and calanques, adventure sports such as diving and sea-canoeing, beach rugby and golf are available. The best time to visit Marseille is May and June. July and August being hot and humid, is only for the beach lovers. April is ideal for those who wish to see the carnival.
