    1 h

  3. A layered monument blending Roman foundations, a Gothic nave, and Baroque chapels, with a calm cloister. Free to enter, it’s a must-see inside Vieil Aix.

    1 h

  4. Quartier Mazarin & Fontaine des Quatre Dauphins. A 17th-century district of aristocratic mansions and baroque fountains. The Four Dolphins square is a jewel of Aix’s classical elegance.

About Marseille

Marseille, France's oldest city, is a Mediterranean port of old forts, hilltop basilicas and limestone coves, and the home of bouillabaisse.

Greek sailors founded Marseille around 600 BC, making it the oldest city in France. The Vieux-Port is its centre, a long harbour ringed by cafés and the morning fish stalls, guarded by two forts at its mouth. On a hill above, the basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde carries a gilded statue of the Virgin Mary and shows the harbour and the islands from its terrace.

Top-ranked sights in Marseille: Notre-Dame de la Garde Basilica (La Bonne Mère), Old Port of Marseille (Vieux Port), Vallon des Auffes.
