If you're planning a trip to France, consider visiting Marseille. The second-largest city in France, Marseille is also the oldest city in France and has a rich history. It's known as "La Belle de Provence," which translates to "The Beautiful of Provence."

It was founded by Greeks around 600 BC and became an important trading port during Roman rule. Today, it's home to many immigrants from North Africa who came to work at its busy port or were displaced by wars in Algeria and Morocco--the largest Muslim population in any European city outside London (about 40%). The Jewish community has been there since Roman times as well; today there are about 10 synagogues serving approximately 15,000 Jews who live within Marseille proper (not including those living nearby).

Strasbourg - Alsace-Lorraine

Strasbourg is the capital of Alsace-Lorraine and it's located on the Rhine River. It has been a major European city since the 14th century and was once part of Germany until after World War II, when it became part of France.

France is a great country to visit!

France has many beautiful cities and villages that you can explore. The country has a rich history, with people having lived there since the Stone Age. France also has a diverse landscape, including mountains, forests and beaches along its coastline. 

There are many different cultures in France too; 

  • they include Germanic peoples who settled in what is now Alsace-Lorraine (the region bordering Germany) during the 5th century AD; 
  • Celts who migrated south from Britain during the Iron Age (3rd-1st centuries BC); 
  • Romans who conquered Gaul by 52 BC; 
  • Franks who invaded Gaul from Germany during late antiquity (5th century AD). French cuisine reflects its long history of foreign conquest as well as indigenous practices:
  • for instance it combines Mediterranean cooking techniques with local ingredients such as butter instead of olive oil or fish rather than meat on Fridays during Lenten season when Catholics fast from eating meat products every Friday until Easter Sunday morning when Jesus Christ was resurrected from death after being crucified by Pontius Pilate two days earlier (March 25th).

France is a great country to visit, and there are so many places you can go while you're there! If you want to see some of the most beautiful architecture in the world or experience local culture, these cities have it all.
