It’s so easy to get to Marseille.
Located only 3 hours from Paris and 90 minutes from Lyon thanks to the “TGV” high-speed train service, France’s second largest city (population: 800,000) is also easily accessible by motorway.
This is where Europe and the Mediterranean meet and the city gives priority to direct links with all the great cities of Europe, each of them just a few hours’ flight from the Marseille Provence Airport (Marignane).
Finally, Marseille is gradually gaining a place for itself as the main home port for cruise liners in the Mediterranean. (400,000 passengers in 2005). |
