Key tourist hotspots



  • Marseilles is not just a cosmopolitan city but it is France's oldest city and has much to offer: from ancient history and cultural diversity to gorgeous seaside scenery.



  • Explore the Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde set in a breathtaking hilltop location. This statuesque church stands on the summit of Marseille and is considered its most important landmark, visible from afar.



  • Vieux Port (Old Harbour) represents the birthplace of Marseilles because this is where the city began as a Greek port around 600 BC.


Restaurants



  • Restaurant Chez Michel is a Marseille institution. Try the local dishes, in particular, Chez Michel’s bourride, a seafood dish which originated in the Provence and Languedoc regions of France.



  • Le Souk offers an exotic taste of the Maghreb right in the middle of Marseille Old Port. Sample traditional North African couscous dishes, kebabs and the ‘tagine of the day’, which can be sweet or savory.


Bonus round



  1. Local currency is the Euro.

  2. Language is French.

  3. Visas are required by some nationals, not all, best to check their list to see.

  4. Plug sockets are the European two prong style.

  5. Cultural sensitivities are few and far between, but when conducting business, it is always worth noting:



  • In France it is vital to ensure that you make appointments for both business and social occasions. It is not acceptable in France to ‘drop in’.

  • Punctuality is treated quite casually.

  • Gift-giving among business associates is not common practice in France.
