Marseille, located on the southeast coast of France, is the country’s second most populated city and its Port, on the Mediterranean Sea, is the biggest commercial one.

REASONS TO GO

The big harbour nowadays turned into a very trendy place;

The bouillabaisse of Marseille: a delicious fish-based soup served with la rouille and bread.
