old port

old port A unique attraction in the heart of Marseille. 2,600 years ago, the Greeks discovered this place called Lashedon Bay, which is now a port that can accommodate 350 leisure boats. The Vieux Port area is the center and essence of the entire Marseille area, not only because it is the origin of Marseille, but also because the pure Marseille style can only be seen here. There are many famous monuments around the Old Port, including the Castle of St. John and the Castle of Saint-Nicolas built in the Louis XIV era. In addition, the Old Port is also the life and entertainment center of the Maasai people. The Old Port area is a famous food district. Most of the restaurants in the port serve a famous Marseille delicacy - "bouillabaisse".
