Sunshine, great food, pastis and pétanque… These are a few of the charms of France’s second-biggest city, warm-hearted and lively Marseille. Visit the fish market at the Old Port, and then head across the street for an exquisite bouillabaisse (fish soup) in one of the many wonderful restaurants facing the port. Later, stroll along the Cannebière for some shopping and people-watching. In the evenings, let yourself be tempted by a night out at the 18th century opera house, or for the ultimate Marseillais experience, check out the Marseille Olympic do their magnificent thing at the soccer arena. No matter which activity you choose, you will be experiencing the South of France in all its glory. Hop on a cruise ship in Marseille and see more of Europe. With a wide variety of cruises, you can opt for a relaxing vacation at sea or you can immerse yourself in local culture and history… It’s tough life!
