A bold tribute to the Ancient Phocaean Port on the Mediterranean Shore where Marseille, France's oldest city founded by Greek colonists from Phocaea around 600 BCE and today France's second-largest metropolis and its principal Mediterranean port, possesses a raw, multicultural energy quite unlike any other French city, where the Vieux-Port, the ancient harbour around which the city has organized itself for over two and a half millennia, bustles each morning with the fishing boats whose catch is sold directly on the quayside to make bouillabaisse, Marseille's legendary saffron-scented fish stew that is as fiercely local a dish as any in France, where the imposing basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde, perched on the highest point above the city with its gilded Madonna visible across the sea for miles, watches over the sailors and fishermen of Marseille as it has since 1864, and where Marseille's designation as a European Capital of Culture in 2013 and the extraordinary regeneration of its waterfront MuCEM museum quarter signal the confident renaissance of France's most defiant and authentic Mediterranean city.
