Marseille’s Old Port, Notre-Dame de la Garde, Mucem, and Château d’If are the landmarks in this short visual visit to southern France.
Part of the Maxwell’s Kitchen Euro Trip series, this Marseille travel video brings together moments from a two-day trip in about a minute and a half. There’s no narration or dialogue. Music accompanies the footage as I explore the city, with street scenes, graffiti, scooters, and waterfront views between the bigger stops.
Watch the video above for a quick look around Marseille.

Around Marseille and the Old Port
The Old Port gives this episode one of its main settings. Around the waterfront and through the streets, the footage picks up the buildings and everyday details that catch my attention during the visit.
The edit moves between recognizable landmarks and smaller moments. Graffiti and scooters belong to the trip just as much as the places whose names make it into the title.
It’s a collection of impressions from exploring Marseille, with the camera doing the explaining.
Notre-Dame de la Garde, Mucem, and Château d’If
The trip includes Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde, Mucem, and Château d’If, bringing different parts of Marseille into the same short episode.
There’s no spoken history lesson or detailed route to follow. These are glimpses from the visit, edited together with the street footage and moments around the Old Port.
If you’re planning your own trip, the official visitor links below provide more information about the city and the featured attractions.
