Honoré de Marseille is a 1956 French comedy musical film by Maurice Régamey and starring Fernandel.
The story begins in 600 BC with the landing in a calque of a Phocéenne galley commanded by the warrior Honorius who, married by mistake the daughter of the Ligurian king, will found the city of Marseille. Honor, the first Marseilles, gives way to Honorius to tell us the hero-comic adventures of the siege of Marseille by the legions of Julius Caesar, which will lead to the invention of the petanque. Through successive leaps over the centuries, and in songs, Honoré tells us the history of the city of Phocea.
Songs composed by Henri Betti with lyrics by Jean Manse and performed by Fernandel with an orchestration by Paul Bonneau : Quel Plaisir ! Quel Travail !, Tout ça c'est Marseille, Oh ! Honoré and C'est Noël.
The song C'est Noël was sung in a scene that was cut at the editing. It was later sung by Tino Rossi and Georges Guétary.
