(S)port perspective. Marseille welcomes to Olympic torch

Get ready to soak up the sun and Olympic spirit in Marseille, France. A vibrant coastal city renowned for its rich maritime heritage and cultural diversity, Marseille serves as a gateway to the Mediterranean Sea. Today, the arrival of the Olympic torch ignites a fervour of anticipation here. The fire was lit in Olympia, Greece, on April 16. Symbolising the link between the modern games and its ancient Greek heritage, the flame embarks on its journey around France to the Paris Olympics. The Summer Olympics will begin on July 26. As Marseille prepares to host the Olympic sailing competition, the city pulsates with energy, blending tradition with innovation.

The Château d'If, seen from afar in today's image, is known for being a prominent setting in Alexandre Dumas' 'The Count of Monte Cristo.' Standing steadfast amidst the azure waters, the château, built in the 16th century, whispers tales of its past as a Renaissance fortress, prison and literary muse.
