Marseille Old Port sailboats and Notre-Dame de la Garde poster

Marseille poster, Old Port sailboats and the Good Mother

Moored in Marseille’s Old Port, white sailboats line up their masts. Above the city, on its hill, the basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde keeps watch with its golden statue. The lettering “MARSEILLE” accompanies this Marseille poster, an emblematic view of the Phocaean city drawn in the style of illustrated travel posters. Mediterranean blues and pale stone tones make for a luminous image in a vertical format. Between the port and the hill, the whole city seems to fit into a single view.

A Marseille keepsake for the living room or entryway

In portrait orientation, it hangs well in an entryway, a living room, a kitchen or an office. Its blues and stone tones pair beautifully with white, light wood, terracotta and Provençal ceramics. In a seaside home, it extends the light of the South. You can pair it with other posters of Marseille or Mediterranean ports. It makes a perfect gift for a Marseillais living far from home, a devoted fan of their city or a friend who has just moved near the Old Port.
