WELCOME TO MARSEILLE

Marseille, the gateway to Provence, is the best place to dscover the villages of Provence and their ancestral traditions during your vacation. Let yourself get carried away by the city's charm, with its rocky inlets, the Vieux-Port, and its markets.

Over the centuries, Marseille has managed to preserve its traditions and its legendary zest for life.
Marseille invites you to walk down the famous Canebière, à stroll through the Vieux Port and its fish market. It is the capital of soap, the birthplace of the Santon Nativity figurines, but Marseille does not forget food lovers, with its Pastiset, the bouillabaisse known around the world.
Throughout the year, Marseille holds many feasts and public events: Candlemas and its navette pastries, Carnival, the Garlic and Taraïettes Fair, Saint Eloi's Day, the Joutes de l' Estaques, the Wind Festival, the Santon fair, and on and on.
Lovers of folk art and tadition will beat a path to the Musée du Terroir Marseillais de Château-Gombert.
