Colorful Marseille

Noisy, southern, vibrant Marseille is the benchmark for a Mediterranean port city, as we are used to imagining them through adventure books and films. The country's largest commercial port, a major industrial centre and the second most populous city in France; one of the oldest cities in Europe. These are still multicolored markets, seafood that dries in the sun. But it is also a real boiling soup from different cultures, as well as an abundance of emigrants.
