The city of Marseille is a wonderful blend of tradition and modernity. Its Greek and Roman remains, medieval religious foundations, 16th century fortifications, luxurious 17th and 18th century residences and the many prestigious 19th century buildings, will take you on a journey through time right up to the present day, with modern buildings such as the Regional Centre for the Mediterranean and the CMA CGM Tower.

Rocky coves and turquoise sea
Marseille is also famous for its magnificent “calanques” or rocky coves. They stretch from Goudes to Cassis. But no visit to the calanques is complete without a swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean. The best-known calanques include : Sormiou, Callelongue, Morgiou, Sugiton, En-Vau, Port-Pin, Port-Miou… Round off your visit by going kayaking or scuba-diving, it will be the highlight of your stay.
