Marseille's outskirts

Marseille's outskirts and suburbs consists of highrise districts and narrow streets with old houses located on hills and mountains, many of them rundown. In the harbour, Marseille's first skyscraper is being constructed.

Tour CMA CGM will be Marseille's tallest building when completed in 2009. At 145m and 34 floors it will be Marseille's first real skyscraper.
