The Old Port
The first thing that springs to mind when you’re in Marseille during the Christmas season is, of course, the Foire aux santons! Held on the Vieux-Port opposite the Samaritaine, it’s open every day from 10am to 7pm, and until 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and is an essential part of Provencal traditions during the festive season. Not far from there, down the Canebière, you’ll find the Christmas market. This year, a host of events in the city center and in all the city’s districts will offer magical moments for the whole family.
