About Marseille
Marseille is a Mediterranean port city in the south of France, with a long history as a trading gateway. It is known for its Old Port, the Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica, bouillabaisse and the calanques, the limestone inlets along the coast nearby, and its port links France with North Africa and Corsica.
France uses Central European Time, UTC+1, and moves to Central European Summer Time, UTC+2, in summer. Marseille is therefore on the same time as Paris and one hour ahead of London. Many smaller shops and businesses close for a long lunch break in the early afternoon, so it is worth timing calls accordingly.
