Sobre o destino: Marselha é a segunda maior cidade da França, o maior porto do Mediterrâneo e o centro econômico da região de Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. Marselha está situada em uma bela localização, aninhada entre colinas calcárias acidentadas e uma ampla baía, e é rica em história, que nem sempre foi agradável. Marselha é um popular destino de férias, pois tem 300 dias de sol por ano. Hoje, Marselha ainda mantém vestígios de seu passado tumultuado, esta antiga cidade é hoje muito ativa e atraente. Possui um poderoso encanto que incentiva os visitantes a passear por seus antigos distritos ao redor de le Vieux Port, nos jardins com as antigas ruínas ou nos jardins do Palácio de Longchamp e, claro, na esplanada da Catedral de Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde, que domina toda a cidade. Marselha é atmosférica e encantadora e uma verdadeira obrigação.
