English translation :
Marseille
Big Provencal city become European Capital of Culture in 2013, formerly Phocée, Marseille is a tourist site really inescapable. With more than 2600 years of history, and with, at the outset, Phoceans origins (Greek colons from Asia Minor), for more than half a century, Marseille succeeded to keep a image in Marcel Pagnol, as well as a big attachment at a leading football club : Olympique de Marseille (Allez l'OM) with its Velodrome Stadium. In principle, any city laden with history, leave over time a group of monuments. And Marseille is, of course, a party to it. In order to get the ball rolling, we start with the Vieux Port with Fort Saint-Jean and Fort Saint-Nicolas, as well as with the broad avenue known by the name of La Canebière. Next come the Palais du Pharo with its park which offers us a resplendent view on a large portion of Marseille, as well as the Panier quarter, the Hôtel-Dieu, the Palais Longchamp, etc. Do not also forget a series of religious monuments with, of course, the most famous Notre-Dame de la Garde (the Good Mother), the Saint-Ferréol church just in front of Vieux Port, the Major Cathedral, the Saint-Victor Basilica, as well as another religious monuments like St-Vincent-de-Paul church. Such monumental wealth, thus, in the heart of such city. Finally, to crown it all, come beaches with Président J.F. Kennedy rock ledges, the Castle of If, the Vallon des Auffes (fantastic little fishing harbour), the Iles du Frioul, the Goudes, and, of course, the Calanques.
