Basalique de notre dame Marseille

Is there a dress code to visit?

If you go on their website

There is a button -top right - to change to English if you don't speak or read French

Oh and it's Basilique, not Basalique

Like all churches you need to dress respectfully with shoulders covered and preferably no shorts.

I believe every holly place has a dress cod - no shorts and covered shoulders.

We were there on 17 September. They say "to dress respectfully". They were not enforcing anything the day we were there. The place was packed, queues to get in, heaps of males and females in shorts and sleeveless tops.

The tourists may get away with it in on busy days because of really crowded conditions, but that is not an excuse for disrespecting the Basilique. It is not "what you can get away with" or what can be enforced from a practical stand point, but what is respectful to your hosts and to the place of worship.

Marazul -

I totally agree with you, and we are careful of what we wear.

I was just stating what happens in reality, in response to the question.
