Answer 2

Answer:

C) MARSEILLE

Explanation:

Traditionally, the economy of Marseille has been occupied in being the port of the French Empire, connecting the French colonies of the north of Africa like Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia with the town of France. Currently, the old port is one of the main attractions for tourism, which in turn is one of the main sources of income of the city, since there are many cafes, bars and hotels. Fishing still remains fundamental in the local economy and, of course, in the gastronomy of Marseille. In spite of the variety of the culinary offer of the city, the fresh catches of the day are a very important attraction in the restaurants, bars and terraces of the town.

The economy of Marseille, today, is dominated by the New Port, perpendicular to the Old. A port of commercial containers and transport to the Mediterranean. Most of the transport that passes through the port is related to oil, making Marseille the most important port in France in this transport and the third in Europe. However, this growth is being held back by the constant attacks and social conscience regarding oil.
