Nonetheless, you should know France has many other cities as much beautiful and interesting as Âé¶¹APP. That is why I\u2019m sharing with you today my <strong>top 5 French cities to see (except Âé¶¹APP)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Âé¶¹APP was dominated by the Romans until the fifth century. It was during the sixth century that Clovis \u2013 first king of the Franks \u2013 chased the Romans and settled in Âé¶¹APP, turning it into the capital of the Franks kingdom. Since that time, all kings and men of power lived in Âé¶¹APP. Âé¶¹APP was a strategic point. Its location was perfect, because it is in the center, so protecting the kingdom was easier. But also, the Seine River was fundamental for trade. Âé¶¹APP quickly became the capital of France for obvious reasons.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/top5frenchcitiestosee-7.jpg\" alt=\"top5frenchcitiestosee\" width=\"650\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Throughout all these years, Âé¶¹APP has been the scene of historical events, and the origin of movements, trends and ideologies.

It is the oldest city of France and the largest one after Âé¶¹APP. But Marseille is in my <strong>top 5 French cities to see<\/strong> for the simple fact that it has so much to explore and experience!<\/p>\n<h4>Visit the Old Port of Marseille<\/h4>\n<p>You will love the <i><strong>Old Port of Marseille!<\/strong><\/i>. It is the symbol of the city and, I would say, the starting point to all your most interesting walks. On mornings, it turns into a fresh fish market. All the fishermen gather in the Old Port selling freshly caught fishes. There are also a lot of restaurants, caf\u00e9s and souvenir stores. On afternoons, you will find many street vendors and street artists. The Old Port atmosphere is pretty cool and dynamic!<\/p>\n<p>At the entrance of the Old Port, you will see the <i><strong>Fort Saint Jean<\/strong><\/i>. It offers an amazing view over the Old Port but also of the Mediterranean Sea. You really wouldn\u2019t want to miss it! And right next to it, there is the <i><strong>MuCEM<\/strong><\/i>, which is the <i>Mus\u00e9e des civilisations et de la M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e<\/i>. This museum gives a touch of modernity to the Old Port. And they both perfectly match together! The building looks like it\u2019s floating above water. You\u2019re likely to be impressed by its design!<\/p>\n<h4>Walk the lovely neighborhood of Le Panier<\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_36553\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36553\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/top5frenchcitiestosee10.jpg\" alt=\"top5frenchcitiestosee10\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" class=\"size-full wp-image-36553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/top5frenchcitiestosee10.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/top5frenchcitiestosee10-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/top5frenchcitiestosee10-768x431.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-36553\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Jerome Mercier<\/p><\/div>\n<p>After you\u2019ve fully enjoyed the Old Port area, my advice would be to walk deeper into the city so that you can discover a more authentic side of Marseille. I\u2019m quite certain you will be delighted by the neighborhood called <i><strong>Le Panier<\/strong><\/i> (the basket, in English). <i>Le Panier<\/i> is the oldest but also the trendiest neighborhood of Marseille!

And to end, you most definitely should get into a boat excursion to the nearby islands, such as the <i><strong>Islands of Frioul<\/strong><\/i>, and the <i><strong>Island of If<\/strong><\/i>. And as a souvenir, you really cannot forget your \u201c<i>Savon de Marseille<\/i>\u201d (Soap of Marseille)!<\/p>\n<h2>Toulouse<\/h2>\n<p><u>Toulouse<\/u> is located in southern France, near Spain.

And it\u2019s usually the spot where everybody meets during celebrations and events.

It connects the Garonne River to the Mediterranean Sea. You can rent or simply take a boat cruise, have lunch or dinner on the boat. If you prefer to stay on land, walking or having a picnic along the Canal is simply awesome!<\/p>\n<p>Toulouse is the best to spend a nice quiet weekend! Also, don\u2019t you dare leave <u>Toulouse<\/u> without trying the <i>Cassoulet<\/i> (stew of meat and beans), their traditional dish!<\/p>\n<h2>Lyon<\/h2>\n<p>My <strong>top 5 French cities to see<\/strong> continues with <u>Lyon<\/u>! Its cobblestone lanes and gothic and renaissance architecture will enchant you! The first highlight I want to share with you is the <i><strong>Cathedral Saint Jean Baptiste<\/strong><\/i>.

On top of the <i><strong>Fourviere Hill<\/strong><\/i>, there\u2019s the <strong><i>Basilique Notre Dame de Fourviere<\/i><\/strong>. And this scenery kind of brings me back to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/tour\/paris-walking-tours\/montmartre-tour\/?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Blog&amp;utm_content=top%205%20french%20cities%20%2F%20montmartre%20tour\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Montmartre<\/a> in Âé¶¹APP: when you go up <i><b>Montmartre<\/b><\/i> and reach the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top10\/10-reasons-to-visit-the-basilica-of-sacre-coeur\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sacre-Coeur<\/a>. When you reach the top of the hill, you get a wonderful view over the city of Âé¶¹APP. <\/p>\n<p>Well, exactly the same happens on top of Fourviere hill in Lyon. Nonetheless, the <strong><i>Basilique Notre Dame de Fourviere<\/i><\/strong> really doesn\u2019t remain in the shadows. Because it is pretty unique and marvelous inside and out, just like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-10-fun-facts-about-the-sacre-coeur\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sacr\u00e9-Coeur<\/a>! Right next to it, there\u2019s the <i><strong>Tour M\u00e9tallique de Fourvi\u00e8re<\/strong><\/i>. I consider it to be a smaller version of the <strong><i>Eiffel Tower<\/i><\/strong>!<\/p>\n<h4>Find the city&#8217;s secret passages<\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_36563\" style=\"width: 1033px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/top5frenchcitiestosee15.jpg\" alt=\"top5frenchcitiestosee15\" width=\"1023\" height=\"685\" class=\"size-full wp-image-36563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/top5frenchcitiestosee15.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/top5frenchcitiestosee15-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/top5frenchcitiestosee15-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/top5frenchcitiestosee15-816x546.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1023px) 100vw, 1023px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-36563\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Vanupied<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In the <i><strong>Old Town of Lyon<\/strong><\/i>, you will find something very typical of the city: the <i>traboules<\/i>.

Nowadays, they\u2019re not that secret anymore, because you will find traboules maps at the tourist office! But it still remains funny to use the traboules.<\/p>\n<h2>Nice<\/h2>\n<p><u>Nice<\/u> is also in the south of France, located around 190 kilometers away from Marseille. It would take you two hours and thirty minutes to get to Nice by car from Marseille. And let me tell you something, this city really deserves its name.
