Famed for being central to some very well known movies, the city of Marseille, located in the South of France is also noted for being the second largest city in France, after Paris.
In fact, Marseille is France's largest city on the Mediterranean coast and largest commercial port with a very busy International Airport with flights arriving both internally and from all over the world. Marseille is the capital of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, as well as the capital of the Bouches-du-Rhône department.
As well as being home to a large number of French people, Marseille
is also a well trodden tourist destination due to the location and the important historical factors, events and buildings that go back to the Roman era and beyond.
Marseille is the 3rd-largest metropolitan area in France after Paris and Lyon, with a population in the region of 2 million people.
