Corseted by a ring of hills, including the Calanques massif, the city winds 57 km along the Mediterranean coast. Sunshine is one of the strong assets of its Marseille's climate and leads to a pleasant lifestyle. The Mistral wind gives the cityscape of Marseille a special light that has inspired many renowned artists and painters such as Cézanne, Braque, Dufy, Derain, Marquet and others.
