Synopsis

Discover Marseille's ancient origins, bustling port life and exciting cultural scene with this explorer's guide to the oldest city in France. Celtic ruins and modern museums, colonial ghosts and ethnic enclaves, street art and culinary delights. From the Count of Monte Cristo and the Abbey of the Black Madonna to Le Corbusier's Radiant City and the Velodrome Stadium. Locations include an Underwater Museum, an Armenian Quarter, an Art Deco Opera House, and a traditional soap factory. Also rugged sea coves, Buddhist pagodas, country homes, and a game of pétanque. The ideal city guide for travellers who want to escape the crowds and go beyond the well-known paths, as well as for those inhabitants who perhaps thought they already knew their city.
