A French port city on the Mediterranean coast, or a type of quilted fabric with raised patterns.
From the ancient Greek city 'Massilia', which became 'Marseille' in French. The city was colonized by Greeks around 600 BCE and the name evolved through centuries of occupation and language change.
Marseille is one of Europe's oldest cities and was so important as a trade hub that it created its own currency for centuries—the city's multicultural history shows in its architecture, food, and even the origin of the 'Marseillaise', France's national anthem.
