Marseille and littoral
More than a dish, bouillabaisse is an experience!

Marseilles, from antiquity to the 3rd millenary
Marseilles represent 2600 years of history! It is the marvellous harbour chosen by the Greeks, its islands and the Château d'If. It's oriental dreams; it's the Good Mother who watches over it, it's the old port and its riggings. It is a crossroads of exchanges, the town of Mucem, at the gateway to Mediterranean sea.
