Marseille Sightseeing
Sightseeing Overview
La Corniche and Les Plages (the beaches) near the Prado are popular, and for a bit of history and culture a walk through le Panier area (the oldest part of town) and a visit to the Vieille Charité are a must.
If the sun gets too much, there are several museums worth checking out, and the beautiful Abbaye St Victor too.
