Eglise Saint Cannat

Stroll through the remains of Marseille’s port that is more than 2,000 years old and imagine the clamor and clang of ships docking against the stone walls.

The long history of France’s oldest city is on display in a new, innovative space, which celebrates more than 2,600 years of Marseille’s restless spirit.

A splendid example of southern European Baroque architecture, this building has presided over Marseille’s Vieux Port for almost 350 years.

A vibrant culture and museum complex serves as an artistic hub for Marseille, in a building that was once a 17th-century shelter for the homeless.

Eat fresh local produce, gaze across the city to the sea and learn about the local heritage in the historic heart of Marseille, one of France’s oldest harbours.

With its cavernous interior full of reminders of the city’s ancient past, this principal place of worship in Marseille is a neo-Byzantine masterpiece.
