MARSEILLE France | Full 1-Day Tour with all Major Highlights

Marseille is a vibrant port city located on the Mediterranean coast of France. It is the second-largest city in the country and boasts a rich history that dates back to ancient times. Marseille is known for its diverse and colorful culture, which is influenced by its location as a gateway to Africa and the Middle East. Visitors can explore the city's historic landmarks such as the Vieux-Port (Old Port), the Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica, and the Palais Longchamp. Marseille is also renowned for its cuisine, particularly its seafood dishes, and visitors can enjoy local delicacies at one of the city's many restaurants or markets. With its warm climate, lively atmosphere, and stunning coastal scenery, Marseille is a must-see destination in France.

I was in Marseille for the 1st time, last June. I was surprised how much I loved it! The people were so warm and kind! One of my nephews’ is in college there. I’ve requested he stay in Marseille. Hehe! He’s French, so it wouldn’t be so hard (I’m American). 😁

Very enjoyable video. Marseille is interesting to me because I had an uncle who lived there prior to coming to the United States.

Hi Janus! Thank you for this one day tour through the wonderful Marseille! A lot of to explore, and you're very fit to walk a lot and in the high summer? 😊🌞

[CrisXing]

Who would have thought that there’s a six-ton five meter tall dual-faced teddy bear somewhere? It seems far from being cuddly but an interesting installation just the same. Maybe it’s a “waiting to be discovered mascot” for Januslog too?😊

The graffiti seems well put together as well, adding a raw social character and dimension to the neatly planned streets and structures. The MuCEM architecture is also something to be hold.

Thanks for another awesome work, Sir J! ✨️🫶🏻

[PP-obzr]

Hello Janus. 😊👍🏻A place I would like to go.

[MarianneInmarsilia]

Thé girafes are free book sharing libraries where you can leave or take a book. There is a public city bus that goes up from the Vieux Port, to Notre Dame de la Garde. Worth it….if you walk down and you could go through the neighborhood of Roucas Blanc all the way down to the sea along the Corniche Kennedy. Gorgeous walk and vistas ☀️ 🌊 ⛵️

[stellapantidis]

I feel as if I walked with you. 😅Très belle ville❤

1. Excellent video. 2. Several times tried (before) to find on the web big art-museum in Marseille, now I understood -- it doesn't have it. Could the city build "rotating" high end art museum for about 5 simultaneous big exhibitions, changing 2-ce in a year, and rotate all the French art, starting from celebrating 100 years in 2 weeks the Impressionism? 3. Is it possible to add large trees in the port area for shade on the sidewalks with, for example, underground water supply? When I rented a room on Lansdowne Ave. in Toronto, Ontario, in 2007 -- it was burned by sun as Marseille. For me they set up young trees on the both sides -- now it is a park street! Thank you.

Loving your Marseille video thank you. Interested to know your opinion of the Le Panier district. I watched another video yesterday and the guy was very adamant that it’s a good area to explore but ONLY in the daytime because it’s dangerous at night. I’m going to stay for 5 nights in Marseille next year and want to stay in this area because of its historic and visual features, so quite discouraged when I saw that negative take on this old town area. What is your impression of this area please? Cheers from Australia
