THINGS TO DO
The things worth doing in Marseille, from the obvious landmarks to the ones locals actually rate.
Frioul islands
The same boat operator that serves Château d'If continues to the Frioul archipelago, with swimming coves and disused fortifications.

Marché de Noailles
A North African and Comorian market a block off the Canebière, best in the morning. Keep your bag in front of you.

Corniche Kennedy
The seafront road south, with swimming spots, small beaches and the Vallon des Auffes tucked under a bridge.
Street art walks
Cours Julien and Le Panier are the two open-air galleries, and the work is deliberately temporary — it gets painted over.
Les Goudes
The end of the road south, a fishing hamlet where the city stops and the Calanques start.
