Marseille, the Biggest Mediterranean Port City in France

Marseille is the second most populated city of France, the biggest mediterranean port and the economic center of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.

Marseille has a complex history. It was founded by the Phoceans in 600 B.C. and is one of the oldest cities in Europe. The town is a far cry from the Cézanne paintings and Provençal clichés of sleepy villages, pétanque players and Marcel Pagnol novels. With around one million inhabitants, Marseille is the second largest city in France in terms of population and the largest in terms of area. Its population is a real melting pot of different cultures.

For people not afraid to discover a real place with real people, Marseille is the place. From colourful markets that will make you feel like you are in Africa, to the Calanques (a natural area of big cliffs falling into the sea), from the Panier area (the oldest place of the town) to the Vieux-Port (old harbor) and the Corniche (a road along the sea) Marseille has definitely a lot to offer.

With its beaches, history, architecture and culture, Marseille is one of the most visited cities in France. Several urban projects are developed to make Marseille attractive. Thus new parks, museums, public spaces and real estate projects aims to improve the city to attract firms and people. Marseille municipality acts to develop Marseille as a regional nexus for entertainment in the south of France with high concentration of museums, cinemas, theaters, clubs, bars, restaurants, fashion shops, hotels, and art galleries.

Marseille is a city that has its own unique culture and is proud of its differences from the rest of France. Today it is a regional centre for culture and entertainment with an important opera house, historical and maritime museums, five art galleries and numerous cinemas, clubs, bars and restaurants.

Places to see in ( Arles - France )

Places to see in ( Arles - France )

Arles is a city on the Rhône River in the Provence region of southern France. It's famed for inspiring the paintings of Van Gogh, which influenced the contemporary art displayed at the Fondation Vincent Van Gogh. Once a provincial capital of ancient Rome, Arles is also known for many remains from that era, including Arles Amphitheatre (les Arènes d'Arles), now hosting plays, concerts and bullfights.

Roman treasures, shady squares and plenty of Camarguais culture make Arles a seductive stepping stone into the Camargue. And if its colourful sun-baked houses evoke a sense of déjà vu, it’s because you’ve seen them already on a Van Gogh canvas – the artist painted 200-odd works around town, but sadly his famous little ‘yellow house’ on place Lamartine, which he painted in 1888, was destroyed during WWII. Happily, the Fondation Vincent van Gogh brings in at least one work each season for its annual exhibition.

Arles is a town and municipality in the region Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (PACA), department of Bouches-du-Rhône, in the southeast of France. It is mainly known for its association with Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh, who produced some of his most famous paintings here. It is also a very pleasant town on the boards of the Rhône river with some well-preserved Roman buildings, including an amphitheatre that is still used for bullfighting. Arles is also the perfect base for exploring the surrounding area, which boasts popular tourist destinations like Avignon, Nîmes and the Camargue.

Arles was founded on a hill on the east bank of the river Rhône, which just south of the city branches into two rivers, the Grand Rhône and Petit Rhône, that together encircle the marshlands and lagoons of the Camargue region, and provide access to the Mediterranean Sea. Because of its strategic position, it was already settled around 800 BC by the Ligurians, later followed by the Gauls, the Phoenicians and eventually Romans, who conquered the south of Gaul in 123 BC. Arles was called Arelate in Roman times and was an important harbour town with the southernmost bridge over the river Rhône, but it was at first overshadowed by the originally Greek port of Massalia (Marseille).

The old town centre is very pretty, with winding streets full of old houses built in grey limestone with pastel-coloured shutters. It is worth just exploring the sidestreets, where you can suddenly run into a nice little restaurant or shop. It is also worth taking a stroll on the quays of the river Rhône to enjoy the view. The main tourist drags are the area around the amphitheatre and the Place du Forum, but the tourist trade is relatively modest, although Place du Forum gets very noisy in the evening. The main streets surrounding the old town are very busy with traffic during the day, especially the Boulevard des Lices, since the major bridge over the Rhône can only be reached from there. The old neighbourhoods of La Roquette (west of town centre) and Trinquetaille (on the other bank of the river) are left largely unexplored by tourists.

Arles remained economically important for many years as a major port on the Rhône. In the 19th century, the arrival of the railway diminished river trade, leading to the town becoming something of a backwater.
