Marseille's Dimitri Payet was hit by a bottle which he then threw back into the crowd leading to a number of Nice fans rushing to the field leading to a clash where the match was abandoned after a 90-minute delay with Nice leading 1-0.
Nice president Jean-Pierre Rivere had appealed to Nice supporters over the sound system for calm during the delay, but angry Marseille players and staff were adamant in refusing to carry on.
According to Marseille president Pablo Longoria, he said the club had decided not to continue with the match despite a decision by the soccer authorities that play should resume.
"The league decided that the match should continue but we decided not to because the safety of our players was not guaranteed," he told a news conference.
"This is the second time it's happened. We have already experienced this in Montpellier where we decided to continue after the decision to carry on was made.
"What happened today is unacceptable. We must make it a precedent for French football and that's why we decided to return to Marseille."
