All in one place: sea, mountains, beaches, harbour, Mediterranean climate. An old port filled with white boats surrounded by townhouses,a fortress from the novel the Count of Monte Christo, excellent Marseille soaps, traditional croissants, beautiful and ubiquitous graffiti, French street markets with fruit, vegetables and fish, narrow streets, steps decorated with pots of greenery, phenomenal architecture and places of cultural interest, an array of emotions of modernism.
