Marseille's hidden treasure! In-depth tour of the Baroque style of Palais Longchamp】**

**【 This time when I came to Marseille, I deliberately avoided the crowded Old Port and came to the **Palais Longchamp** hidden at the end of Canubiere Street. As a result, I was shocked by the beauty of this palace of Napoleon III! The palace combines **Baroque, Roman and Oriental architectural styles**. The spectacular sculpture fountain in the center is the finishing touch - the river god is in the center, and the goddesses on both sides hold grapes and wheat ears, symbolizing Marseille's winemaking and agricultural traditions. The surrounding bull statues add a Mediterranean style. The **cloisters and gardens**, which are free to enter, are amazing enough. Going up the steps, you can reach two museums: the **Art Gallery** collects original works of masters such as Millet and Courbet, and the **Natural History Museum** is suitable for tourists who like animals and plants. It is recommended to visit in the early morning or evening. When the sun shines on the exterior wall of the palace, the whole building is like being plated with gold foil, which is beautiful for taking pictures! It is a 5-minute walk from the Cinq Avenues Longchamp subway station. There are many cafes around. After visiting the palace, you may want to taste a cup of Marseille coffee and feel the French leisure. If you have enough time, the back garden is a great place to relax. It is definitely the most underrated hidden gem in Marseille!
