What to see in Marseille
Marseille combines history, Mediterranean culture and a vibrant port atmosphere. Here are a few must-see places during your stay.
Château d’If
Built in the 16th century on a small island off Marseille, Château d’If became world-famous thanks to Alexandre Dumas’ novel The Count of Monte Cristo.
