    With a proud history of 26 centuries, 
    Marseille is the oldest city in France. Packed with fishing boats and 
    pleasure crafts, the Vieux Port is the heart of Marseille. Two fortresses 
    guard the entrance to the harbor. Several vantage points offer spectacular 
    views, including the impressive Basilica Notre Dame de la Garde, topped by a 
    27-foot-high gilded statue of the Virgin Mary.  Sitting at one of the 
    many outside cafes or strolling the streets of the old port area lets you

    purse snatching and pick pocketing are common. Guests are advised to leave 
    jewelry and excess cash in their in-suite safe.
