About Marseille

858,120 in city

The most renowned and populated city in France after Paris, Marseille has - like the capital - prospered and been ransacked over the centuries. Marseille is a real, down-to-earth yet cosmopolitan port city with a trading history going back over 2500 years. The people are gregarious, generous, endlessly talkative and unconcerned if their style seems provocatively vulgar to the snobs of the Côte d'Azur.
