This picture of Marseille was taken from the top of Marseilleveyre, a small mountain south of Marseille. The small harbor in front is the harbor of Pointe Rouge. The Vieux Port, center of Marseille, and Notre Dame de la Garde, are not visible here.

One of the islands in the bay host the Château d'If that was a prison for sometime. This place was made famous by the roman "Le Comte de Monte Cristo" of Alexandre Dumas.
