Marseille is a major port town on France's southwestern coast. It's a unique French city that has a vibe all of its own… You might not really feel like you’re in France! Marseille has been heavily influenced by immigration from Northern Africa & Italy, resulting in a rich and colorful diversity. Vibrant street art, lots of interesting food, and a little bit of a gritty feel will be the backdrop to your stay here. Marseille is frequently used by visitors as a home base to hike, enjoy the water, and explore the surrounding towns and natural areas. I have visited Marseille three times and love this city!
