1. Sunbathe on the docks of the Vieux-Port
An emblematic district of the Phocaean city, the Vieux-Port welcomes the stalls of freshly caught fish merchants every morning. It’s the perfect place to stroll under the Provencal sun while enjoying a splendid view of the sea and the boats.
Just next to the seafood market is the ombrière imagined by Norman Foster. This immense 22-metre by 48-metre mirrored ceiling reflects the Quai des Belges as well as Marseillais and tourists passing beneath it. A real eye-catcher, this infrastructure is an ideal way to protect yourself from the sun’s rays during a short break while strolling along the docks of the Vieux-Port.
