Marseille lies in the south of France, it is the oldest city in the country and a large resort located on the Mediterranean Sea. The Old Port, Vieux-Port de Marseille is one of the tourist attractions of Marseille – in 2013 it was thoroughly renovated. In the port area there is a marina for small ships, yachts, fishing boats and motorboats. The port may be a starting point to visit the most important buildings of the city, admire the basilica of Notre Dame de la Garde, the theater of La Criee or the church of Saint Victor. The main shopping district of Marseille is also close to the port.
