Marseilles

This big city proclaims itself as the premier port of France. The Basilica Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde, which dates back from the 19th century, sits on top of a hill and faces the sea. The golden statue of the Virgin Mary at the Basilica was believed to have protected the city from many invasion attempts.
