The town hall, built in 1656, is a beautiful example of the civil architecture of the end of the 17th century. Marseille's council has met here since the Middle Ages. Today, it houses the offices of the mayor, municipal councillors and other administrative offices.

L' Hotel de Ville is a lovely building. In fact it is one of the very first important sights we saw when we arrived in the city. Another important element is the sculptures of two animals, that is the bull and the lion, which are next to the City Hall building. These two animals are part of the coat of arms of the city of Marseille and they represent a number of symbols, such as the sea and travel, commerce and trade, and strength and power. The City Hall is located in a great spot which is right in front of the waters edge, in the Old Port.

Gare de Marseille Saint-Charles is a grand station. We used it a few times during our stay in Marseille, as we travelled to a number of cities from here. From outside what is striking is the huge number of stairs around the station. It is a truly amazing sight! The station is quite large and there many shops inside selling a wide range of things. You can get lost if you are not very careful, but as long as you follow the signs you should have no problems. There are several entrances and exits as well, so it's easy to get disorientated at times.
