Marseille is the chief seaport of France,
industrial centre (chemicals, oil refining,
metallurgy, shipbuilding, food processing),
and capital of the département of
Bouches-du-Rhône, on the Golfe du Lion,
Mediterranean Sea. It is surrounded by hills
and connected with the river Rhône by a
canal, and there are several offshore islands
including If.
