The second-largest city in France has a 2,600-year history dating back to the ancient Greeks. Named the European Capital of Culture in 2013, Marseilles and the surrounding areas served as inspiration for numerous artists, including Vincent Van Gogh. Stroll through Le Panier, take a boat to Chateau d'lf, the prison that inspired "The Count of Monte Cristo," and hike to the city's highest point to visit Notre Dame de la Garde. Take a train to Les Calanques and enjoy the epic beauty of blue Mediterranean waters crashing into rocky cliffs.
