A tiny Armenian restaurant in Le Panier where Astghik Sargsyan turns family recipes, Provençal produce, and precise modern technique into colorful plates full of warmth.

A guide to Marseille’s heritage restaurants, from bouillabaisse institutions and old-school pizzerias to long-running neighborhood favorites that reflect the city’s history and communities.

With its temperate climate, extensive coastline and friendly character, Marseille has all the ingredients for prime picnicking. The sun shines over 300 days a year. Winter temperatures hover in the 50s and 60s while summer’s late sunsets let daylight linger until 10 p.m. Marseille’s 26 miles of coastline are peppered with rocky coves, sandy beaches and hidden nooks where you can spread out your picnic blanket alongside the turquoise Mediterranean. Some of the city’s best picnicking spots are beside monuments that serve up sweeping views – like the grassy knoll at the Palais du Pharo or the craggy garden at the Bonne Mère.
