Marseilles Mini Guide

Marseilles is one of the largest cities in France – only Paris has more inhabitants (its population surpassed that of France’s major commercial seaport. Considered the Provencal capital, the city is an ancient one that was once described by Alexander Dumas as “the meeting place of the entire world”. As with all large cities, there are parts of Marseilles that are run down and grubby – however Marseilles also has much elegance and charm with plenty to see and do both in and around the city.

Things to See/Do in Marseilles

There are a number of cathedrals, galleries, theatres and museums in the city, however if it is culture and beauty you want in a city, you might want to opt for somewhere other than Marseilles – the city is known for being grimy and gritty, cheap and cheerful, famously overrun with stray cats. It’s a city with atmosphere like no other, and a very interesting and different city break, becoming increasingly popular with people who want something a little different. Currently undergoing a major facelift, there is constant regeneration and redevelopment going on, and it will be interesting to see the changes in the city by the time the rugby world cup is hosted there in September 07.

Le Vieux Port is a lovely part of Marseilles, the heart of the city and probably it’s best-known tourist area. The area is pleasant to walk, and lined with cafés and bistros – many offering great views of the old port and the famous Notre Dame de la Garda Cathedral. Fish stalls are set up every morning, an interesting routine to behold.

A short drive will bring you out along La Corniche to the beaches where the beautiful Mediterranean will greet you. A popular weekend activity for the Marseilles inhabitants, a trip to the beach here is no palm-treed, tranquil paradise – skateboarders and rollerbladers fly around the place, and the beach has been likened to Bondi or Venice beach in California! For a more relaxed experience and a moment of tranquility in a crazy city, go to Fort Jean at the gates of the old port and watch the awe-inspiring sunset.

Eating Out/Nightlife in Marseilles

Whether its expensive gourmet cooking and bottles of fine wine you want, or budget-friendly cheap eats, Marseilles has something to offer you. Go for the regions famous bouillabaisse dish, a delicious seafood dish that is the pride of many restaurants in Marseilles. If your budget is a worry and you want cheap food, you will pay less in the African and Arab stalls of the Belsunce area – falafel, couscous and other ethnic specialties are delicious and come at low cost.

The nightlife in Marseilles is vibrant and some would even eclectic – recommended is the area known as Cours Julien. A former bohemian quarter – but rapidly filling with young professionals and overpriced apartments – the area has a good selection of eateries and bars/clubs that are perhaps more classy than some in other areas of the city.
