The Old Port Just like La Canebière, the Old Port is an emblematic spot in the city. © Rudolf Tepfenhart - age fotostock
The capital of the Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur region, Marseille remains the flagship destination of the area.
It is a city where life is good, and where you can take advantage of the hot summer afternoons to wander around its lively historic centre, the Vieux Port (Old Port). La Canebière (Canebière avenue), le Panier (area) and la place Castellane (roundabout), are just a few namechecks from Pagnol films.
Be sure to see the Phoenician city from the heights of the Basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde.
