Desde el exterior,ves un castillo....y así tuvo que ser...aunque por dentro es una bonita iglesia..muy oscura...y con una cripta increíble.... La.entrada a la iglesia es gratis...pero si quieres ver la cripta son 3 euros.....(De algún lado hay que sacar)..... Las vistas al puerto...la castillo de San jean....muy buenas... sobretodo por la mañana

Abadía fortificada del S. V. Desde hace muchos años es uno de los lugares más importantes del catolicismo y aunque el monasterio se disolvió durante la Revolución francesa, la iglesia aún se utiliza. Recomendable su visita tanto en el interior como el exterior. La entrada es gratuita, sólo hay que pagar si quieres ver la cripta.

Estupenda visita, se puede ver la antigua abadía y hay posibilidad de pagar para ir a otros lugares históricos de esta. La Abadía de San Víctor de Marsella fue una abadía francesa fundada en el siglo V por Saint Jean-Cassien. Se edificó cerca de las tumbas de los mártires de Marsella entre los que se encontraba San Víctor de Marsella que le dio nombre a la abadía. Desde hace más de 1700 años es uno de los lugares más importantes del catolicismo situado en el sur de Francia y aunque el monasterio se disolvió durante la Revolución francesa, la iglesia aún se utiliza.
