Marseille is a beautiful maritime city that is in the south of France and has the most important commercial port in the country, as well as being the second most populated city after Paris. In front of the port you can find the Ile d’If , one of the most visited islands of Marseille and where the famous 16th century castle is located, which became world famous thanks to the novel " The Count of Montecristo " and its writer Alexander Dumas.
The Old Port is one of the main destinations for all tourists who visit Marseille , it has a lot of leisure places such as cafes, restaurants, shops, hotels and several places of interest within the same port such as its two spectacular fountains, the Santa María Lighthouse or the famous La Canebiére avenue , whose first section is really beautiful. Already in the city center, you can see the impressive Basilica of Notre Dame de la Garde , which is often called La Bone Mére and which is a historic Catholic place of worship for the fishermen of Marseille that is located on a hill a little more than 150 meters above Puerto Viejo. The views from there are the best in the entire city.
The Plaza Castellane in the Prado is one of the most active places in the city thanks to being the place chosen by the people of Marseille when the historic center began to depopulate. There you will also find the Cours Ju ‘ , a square that has a park and a multitude of paths where you can spend a day relaxing and walking. You cannot leave Marseille without entering one of its many artisan bakeries and pastries or a chocolate shop where you will find authentic delicacies made with the best French chocolate and visiting La Chocolatiere du Panier you will be the one most visited by both residents and visitors. A real treat for the palate.
