Marseille is the second largest city in France after Paris where owning a property can reflect yet another different way of French life. The Vieux-Port is also France’s main port with the old harbour enjoying comprehensive seafood related industries including plenty of restaurants.

Marseille is divided into sixteen arrondissements which spiral out from the focal point of the city, the Vieux- Port and its surrounding areas are full of beautiful aging churches which include the Église St-Trophime in Arles, where Frederick Barbarossa was crowned the king of Arles in 1178. Paul Cezanne also lived in Aix-en-Provence for a period in of his life with his former home, Atelier de Cezanne being a museum displaying his life's work.

To the north of Vieux- Port lies the old town of Le Panier where you will find the original Greek settlement of Massalia.

The boulevard leading from the top of Vieux-Port is La Canebière is the central dissection to the East and West of the town.

Centre Bourse and the little streets of quartier Belsunce border the north end of Marseille and the main hub of shopping streets lie to the south.

The North and South dissection of the city is rue d'Aix which soon becomes cours Belsunce then leads to rue de Rome, the av du Prado and lastly the boulevard Michelet .

The place Jean-Jaurès and the fashionable cours Julien is a lively part of Marseille which lies to the east of rue de Rome.
