beautiful hotels where you can stay and cafes where
you can enjoy light meals on La Canabiere which is
the main street of Marseille.

The Basilique Notre Dame de la Garde is a 19th
century basilica which has been designed on the
Romano-Byzantine style. You will find this in the
south of Vieux Port and is a major draw for the
tourists visiting the region. One is truly amazed at
seeing the huge gilded statue of the Virgin standing
regally atop the basilica’s 60 meter high belfry. You
must not miss the opportunity of watching the
sunset views from here which are breathtaking and
spectacular.
The history of Marseille cannot be separated from its
close links to the sea. Hence, you will find that the
Vieux Port is the starting point for many of its sights

parts of the world. The beaches near the Prado are
quite popular. You can obtain a selection of leaflets
from the tourist office highlighting the major places of
interest and maps to guide you on your sightseeing
