Marseille
Marseille, in southern France on the Mediterranean Sea, is the country's second largest city, with around 900,000 inhabitants. It is the centre of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Founded by the Greeks around 600 BC, Marseille is the oldest city in France. Here you will find the Calanques National Park with its dramatic fjord-like inlets. Thanks to the mild Mediterranean climate, the best time to visit is spring and autumn, when temperatures are pleasant and there are fewer tourists.
