Last but not the least; try the popular fish-based soup La bouillabaisse

fir me The Abbaye St. Victor is very beautiful and a nice place to check out after you have seen other parts of Marseille. If you are only there for one day, I would say there are other more important sites to see. However, if you have a bit more time, it is a lovely place to check out full of history
