Ένα ευχάριστο πράγμα που μπορείτε να κάνετε είναι απλά να καθίσετε σε μια από τις καφετέριες με θέα το λιμάνι της Marseilles και πίνοντας ένα Pastis, να παρατηρήσετε το τοπίο και τους ανθρώπους που το κατοικούν. Η Μαρσέιγ, που αποκαλείται επίσης “Πόλη των Πορπόζων “, είναι η πιο ηλιόλουστη πόλη της Γαλλίας, γοητευτική με τις ρεματιές της όπου μπορείτε να κολυμπήσετε, την ιστορία και τον πολιτισμό της και τα εστιατόρια με κοσμοπολίτικη κουζίνα. Δεν μπορείτε να φύγετε χωρίς να έχετε πρώτα περιηγηθεί στην “Cours Julien”, το δρόμο για ψώνια. Το λιμάνι της Μαρσέιγ είναι ίσως ένας τυπικός τουριστικός προορισμός, αλλά αξίζει να το επισκεφθείτε για το πλοίο που αναχωρεί από το Δημαρχείο και την παλιά εκκλησία, η οποία αντικατέστησε ένα κτίριο των Ναϊτών.
