Gateway to Provence ~ Marseilles Airport
The Marseilles airport (actually in Marignane) is a steel and glass structure that is the gateway to Provence. This modern facility near France's second largest city is a pleasant place to fly into.
Marseillaise Maquis
As the plane circles to land at the Marseille airport, you will see the scrub lands or the Maquis. During World War II, the French Resistance fighters against the Nazis hid out in the maquis, and became known as maquisards or simply, the Maquis.Note the aquaduct near the shore, slightly left of center.
