Less than a two hour flight away from London, France's second city Marseille lies on the Mediterranean coast, and attracts holidaymakers from all over Europe with a reputation for sophistication, great weather all year around, superb shopping - particularly for designer clothing and luxury goods, and for the excellent international restaurants on offer throughout the city.
With a rich history covering some two and a half thousand years, and plenty of picturesque buildings and museums to the region's history to explore, Marseille is a fascinating place to visit, and somewhere that has a huge amount to offer.
Although not as glamorous in itself as is Nice for example, and not as picturesque as Paris either, Marseille has a charm all of its own that has grown from the city's population that has come from all over the world (particularly from northern Africa) to the city and made Marseille one of the most cosmopolitan cities in all of Europe.
You can get cheap deals on flights and accommodation to Marseille throughout the year, and it is a beautiful city to visit, whether as part of a longer holiday exploring southern France and the many stunning sights on offer in the region, or as a destination in its own right, hosting you on either a romantic short break, or a longer family holiday lounging on the beaches and soaking up the hot sun.
