The fierce Marseille is France’s oldest city. Its 26 centuries of history has made it one of the richest and most distinctive places in the country. The Greeks, Romans, Gauls and barbarian tribes, Saracen pirates, the Mafia, Napoleon, and the Nazis, have all left their mark in the city’s long history.
