The reality of Marseille, with its secret life & scarred beauty, has little in common with its sulphurous reputation. Its inhabitants, who like to keep themselves & their city`s true character to themselves, prefer it that way. A taste for independence has been part of the city`s nature & history from the beginnings 2, 600 years ago; since then it has only been part of France for the past 600, & for much of that time unwillingly. Ringed on three sides by steep hills & by the sea on the fourth, Marseille resembles an isl&, & soon gives to incoming migrants a Marseillais identity, separating them both from their multiple origins & from the French of the surrounding mainl&. Founded as a Greek trading station, the city has traded always, favouring the transit of goods by sea & land over industrialisation; as a result the twentieth-century recession of sea traffic & partial closure of the docks can make Marseille appear neglected, dishevelled, & under-employed as a great port & historical centre. The appearance is deceptive; Marseille is a ceaselessly changing & culturally ever-creative fusion of peoples--rich & poor, black, brown & white, a population, according to the novelist Blaise Cendrars, that remains `insolent, happy to be alive, & more independent than ever`. The Vieux-Port into which the first Greek settlers rowed their fifty-oared ships is still the vital centre of the city & even if less vibrantly active than in the days of sail, it is here that the sense of the living Marseille can be grasped. Moreover, the Euromediterranee project & the naming of Marseille as cultural capital of Europe in 2013 have together brought in massive capital transfusions to a process of urban rehabilitation which is continuing. David Crackanthorpe explores the striking architecture of Marseille`s monuments, the remains of Greek & Roman docks & wall, the islands of the gulf & the magnificent coast, the city`s distinctive language, food & popular culture. With all the disfigurements it has suffered, Marseille remains one of the world`s most unique cities & its site among the most splendid. ...
