1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Marseille

Marseille is the metropolis in the southeast of France and even more so the Mediterranean Basin. It was founded around 600 BC by Greek sailors from Phocaea in Asia Minor, which is why it is still called the “Phocaean City” today.

Marseille is a city of many attractions: the sea, the sun, nature and culture. Marseille is also proud of its strong tradition of accessibility and its people’s warm hospitality.

Marseille is a land of varied and stunning landscapes. From the "Vieux-Port aux Calanques” to the “Bonne Mère” basilica, natural green spaces stretch as far as the eye can see around the city and traces of its rich history are everywhere in its architecture, culture and the people who live there.

Marseille is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in France with its ancient heritage, distinctive culture, strong identity and ethnic mix.

In short, Marseille is also: • the oldest city in France; • the second most populated city in France; • a city of trade that is open to the world and more specifically to the Mediterranean area through

“Euroméditerranée” ; • a unique seafront with 57km of coastline overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

Marseille, a tourist spot

Marseille is a tourist spot in the heart of the Mediterranean.

Marseille is a cosmopolitan and vibrant city that attracts throngs of tourists from all over the world every year. Officially listed as a city of art and history, Marseille is creating an economic and cultural vitality that is booming today.

Marseille has positioned itself as the French and Mediterranean city of reference for conventions and seminars. It is also the flagship city for cruises in France and an indisputable stop for the world’s largest cruise lines. Several large-scale projects are currently being completed, such as the convention hall, hotel complexes and a range of reception facilities.

A selected athlete should report immediately to the DCC unless there are valid reasons for delay.

All athletes setting World or European records must report to the DCC to provide a sample. Failure to provide a sample will result in the record not being ratified.

Additional controls

Additional athletes, such as those achieving National Records who have not been selected for doping control, may present themselves for testing. These athletes must report to the TIC where they will have to complete the “Doping Control Request Form”. They will then be escorted to the Doping Control Station.
