A picture taken on May 3, 2013, shows the Port of Marseille before the lighting night event "Le Vieux Port entre flammes et flots" (The Old-Port, between flames and waves) on May 3, 2013, at the Port of Marseille as part of the Marseille-Provence 2013 European capital of culture. The entire Vieux-Port will be under the spell, illuminated as if by candles and presenting a mobile sequence of living flames on both harbour and quayside. AFP PHOTO / GERARD JULIEN
