The ancient port of Marseille, founded by the Phoenicians, has fascinated and appalled in equal measure. Rich in history - both culinary and maritime - it has also been known as the gateway to France from Northern Africa for centuries, bringing with it social pressures and notoriety as a city rich in criminals and social unrest. As France´s second largest city these issues are par of the course but they are just one side of the coin. The amazing beauty of the old town, the fortresses along the harbour, the stunning coast and the isolation of the islands make for a wonderful visit. Admiring the sprawl of the city from the vantage point of the Notre-Dame de la Garde Basilica at sunset must be one of the most beautiful view on the Mediterranean.
This is video is a reflection of this amazing city and it´s many contributions to French culinary and political life.
