About Marseille

Marseille is the Third largest city in France after Paris and Lyon, and the main cultural centre and port along the south coast of the country. Marseille is a popular tourist destination in its own right, and is also the ideal place from which to begin a longer tour along the Riviera or inland towards the famous Provence countryside which is noted for its landscapes, art, and cuisine.

The city of Marseille itself is home to around a million people, and has a massive population of people from North Africa which gives the city a completely unique feel as a result of their influence. There are many Moroccan restaurants in Marseille, and even a traditional Arab market area which has grown out of this cultural influence.

This area is also home to the two main Forts in the town, and has held a daily fish market for hundreds of years.
