Lonely Planet review

Nothing unites Marseillais from all backgrounds like their beloved football team, Olympique de Marseille, established in 1899. The team's hallowed home ground, the Stade Vélodrome was built in the 1930s and initially held cycling fixtures (hence the name). Overhauled to host the 1998 World Cup, the stadium now seats up to 60,000 screaming spectators.
