Promenade des Anglais is the center of not only Nice, but the whole Riviera. It is stretching along the Baie de Anges of the Mediterraena Sea the whole way through the city and borders the beach from the city. Promenade des Anglais means "the promenade of the Englishmen" and is called so because it was built by the English community in the 1820's Victorian times.

The Old Port, Vieux-Port, is perhaps the nicest part of Marseille, where most of the tourists like to hang around. This area (and La Canebière) feels less dangerous than many other parts of the city. Panier is the historic district just west of the old port, with hills with narrow streets filled with old rundown buildings and poor people. Old Port is guarded by two massive forts. The northern quayside was rebuilt by the architect Fernand Pouillon after the destruction by the Nazis in 1943.

Belsunce is the most centrally located district of Marseille. The city center of Marseille is very compact, so it is possible to walk around it. From the foot of the cathedral Église des Réformés, La Canebière, that is the main avenue in the city center, begins. The avenues of Marseille are not even near as wide as the ones of Marseille, and the city center mainly consist of narrow streets and old rundown buildings.
