The programme

• Marseilles is one of the most Instagrammable destinations in the Mediterranean, particularly as it is notoriously a #nofilter city.

• Start your photo report with a roundup of pictures of the Old Port, with the St-Jean and Saint-Nicolas forts as striking backdrops. At the Norman Foster Ombrière you can switch off the special effects: the huge metal canopy alone will turn your reflection upside down.

• Take a quick snap as you pass by the Hotel Intercontinental and then it's into the multicultural, multicolored and multi-inspirational district of Le Panier. The Place des Treize Cantons was once the site of the hotel where Casanova stayed, so a photo here is essential, with the #hot hashtag of course.

• If you love street photography, don't miss views like the bowling green in front of the Majeure Cathedral, while the port area between MuCEM and the Saint-Jean Fort is ideal for architectural photography.
