Vieux Port
-
Commercial sea traffic might have moved round the corner to newer docks in the 19th century, but the old port remains the heart of city life. Bobbing with pleasure boats and fringed with restaurants, it’s where the Marseillais gather for festivities and to buy fish at the market. The occupying Germans attempted to subdue the city by blowing up the port’s north side in 1943, but Marseille’s indomitable nature won the day.
