Top 5 Attractions, Marseille (France) - Travel Guide

Take a tour of Marseille, France - part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats.

Hi, this is your host, Naomi. I would like to show you the top five attractions of Marseille, France.

Number 5 - Calanques. Tall cliffs by the Mediterranean Sea, make this a spectacular outdoor attraction.

Number 4 - Marseille Cathedral, a massive Roman Catholic cathedral that was built in the 19th century. It was also a National Monument of France.

Number 3 - Chateau d'lf. Famous for being one of the settings in the novel, The Count of Monte Cristo, it was constructed initially as a fortress and then later turned into a prison.

Number 2 - Notre Dame de la Garde, an iconic landmark, overlooking the city from its highest point. The interiors are particularly ornate and memorable.

And Number 1 - Vieux Port. It's hard to imagine this city without the old port. Popular among locals as well as visitors, it is definitely a must see during your trip.

Keep watching our travel video series. Ciao!

Hi Geobeats. You forgot "le palais longchamp" (longchamp's palace), the big and impressive garden from the 19th century. Definitely more attractive than Marseille Cathedral!
