Marseille is the second largest city in France and was founded by the Greeks around 600 BC. The heart of Marseille is the Vieux-Port, a historic harbour that is over 2,600 years old. Walk along the promenade and you will find many restaurants, cafes and markets. Try the famous bouillabaisse, a local fish stew, or just enjoy a quiet coffee and watch the boats go by. A short walk from the Vieux-Port you'll find Le Panier, one of Marseille's oldest and most charming neighbourhoods. This historic district has narrow, winding streets decorated with vibrant street art and colourful facades. You'll find craft shops, boutiques and galleries. The city has a number of museums and cultural institutions. The Museum of European and Mediterranean Cultures (MuCEM) is a marvel of modern architecture. The Musée d'Histoire de Marseille offers an in-depth exploration of the city's past, while the MAC Museum of Contemporary Art showcases the city's artistic vitality.
