A beautiful cathedral inside and out. It cuts an imposing sight on the edge of the sea, visible to all who enter Marseille Port from many miles away. It is decorated in a beautiful marble style inside and out, and sits in a lovely square, giving it lots of room to stand out in its surroundings. Inside it is so peaceful. The marble pillars and mosaic floors really are stunning. This really is a beautiful cathedral.

Gorgeous cathedral, especially on the outside, now that most renovations are done. Also worth a stroll inside, with a few interesting scenes, and some focus and memorabilia around Johnny Halliday. Some of the glass stained windows and the mosaics are really quite spectacular!
