Enjoy the Mediterranean flair in Marseille
Marseille is the second largest city in France and also the capital of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.
The perfect location at the Sea makes it possible to experience a Mediterranean flair in the port city. There are numerous sights to admire, which can be found especially near the Old Port. Impressive buildings such as the Notre-Dame de la Garde or the Marseille Cathedral bear witness to the long history of this multicultural city.
In the European Capital of Culture of 2013, history combines with the modernity of southern France. The city has already experienced many changes in its history and has also had to recover from strokes of fate time and again. Whether after the conflicts between Gauls and Romans in ancient times, the plague in 1720 or the extensive destruction during the Second World War, the population of Marseille never gave up and so the city still captivates with its liveliness.

This building is also popularly known as the "Good Mother", as it has been looking after the people of Marseille for two centuries. The impressive basilica is located on the highest hill of the city and thus offers an incredible view.
