It's impossible to miss this Marseille monument, which stands on the famous Corniche Kennedy, at the edge of the sea, facing the Frioul Islands. An emblematic site for the people of Marseille, it commemorates, as its name suggests, a tribute to the soldiers of the Army of the Orient and distant lands. While strolling along the coast, a visit to Marseille is a must, especially since the Vallon des Auffes is right next door. It is a true "gateway to the Orient" that reflects the history of Marseille. (Source: marseilletourisme.fr/fr/que-voir/patrimoine-culture/monuments/monument-morts-armee-orient/)
