About Marseille
Marseille is gritty, multicultural, and unapologetically itself — not polished like Paris or Nice. The Vieux-Port is the heart, bouillabaisse is the dish, and the calanques (fjord-like inlets) are worth a day trip. It's got North African and Mediterranean vibes, rough edges, and some of the best food in France. Not for everyone, but those who get it, love it.
- •Vieux-Port (old port) and seafood markets
- •Bouillabaisse at Chez Fonfon or Le Miramar
- •Calanques National Park for hiking and swimming
- •MuCEM museum and Fort Saint-Jean
