Tips for your stay in Marseille
‘Vieux-Port’
The Old Port of Marseille is one of the most popular districts of Marseille and has been the beating heart of the city since antiquity. The harbour is still protected by the forts of St Jean and St Nicolas. Just nearby is the ‘Phare de Sainte Marie’ lighthouse, the ‘Théâtre National de la Criée’ theatre and the cheerful Canebière street. Here, you can soak up the authentic atmosphere of the city and enjoy a good glass of wine and delicious seafood in one of the many restaurants.Marseille bouillabaisse
The traditional fish dish “par excellence” is of course bouillabaisse! There are as many versions of this fish stew as there are fish in the sea, but people in Marseille claim their recipe is the only authentic one. Almost any restaurant in Marseille therefore offers this famous and delicious dish.
