Marseille

One of the nights, while we were staying in Martigues, we decided to go over to Marceille for dinner and to see a litle bit of the city. Marseille is the oldest city in France, founded by Greek sailors of Phocaea 600 years b.c. and it is the 2nd largest, Paris being the first. It has a very large commercial port and was considered to be the "gateway to the Mediteranean" during the French colonial days. There is so much to see in this city, we will need to go back!




This area is famous for shellfish, we decided to try it out and we had a fantasic dinner at this restaurant.
