With 28,000 years of existence, Marseille is perhaps one of France’s oldest gay meccas. A spirit of adventure fills the air no matter where you look. From breakfast on your balcony in the warm Mediterranean sunshine, where you may glimpse barechested sailors repairing their fishnets; to the coastal route leading out of town towards the Calanques, with its never-ending parade of scantily clad bathers, cyclists and joggers; to a traditional fish soup (bouillabaisse) at the Old Port (Le Vieux Port), as you witness a fisherman carrying a bulging basket of freshly caught fish straight through the restaurant to the chef.
