Once u reach the top, very nice what more can be said really? the views are amazing, u can see the entire city from up there. As for the Basilica itself, it's very cool with plenty of mosaics designs & column's, inside the candles provide some light to the dimly lit interior.

Too bad for my wife and I because the day we planned to do this, I booked last second reservations at Une Table au Sud, a Michelin Star restaurant; see my other Yelp review. Anyway, I hope my pictures do this place justice. Enjoy; better yet, go visit. Another plus was that we got our Marseille soap here which saved us a trip. 6 Euros for a pack of 4. We bought a few packs... BTW, this is the same price as if we went to the parent store. Ambiance - See my pictures. Pay toilets, I think 1 Euro. They accept credit cards. Restaurant available. Gift shop. Service - Self service. Price - Free, unless you need to use the toilets. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success and history.
