Advantages: Gorgeous Climate, Beautiful Culture, Picture moment Scenaries Disadvantages: driving(?)
...already so it was great fun relaxing on a giant float getting a great tan and taking the occasional dip into the water.
During my visit to Marseille as much as i wanted to just stay and relax at the pool and soak up the lovely climate i did go out. Marseille is famous for its Opera Houses, museums and galleries. - May sound boring, but there were some good locations we went to.
If your into shopping then The CentreBourse is the main shopping centre of Marseille and contains both the History Museum as well as a series of open archaeological ruins now used as a park.
An extensive bus network serves the city and suburbs of Marseille. However when I went we hired out a car (from the airport) lol erm this is the best way around - if your a good driver because the french are very 'busy' drivers sometimes and we did get knocked from behind...

Advantages: It's a Beautiful city with breathtaking views Disadvantages: Going out for a drink can proove expensive.
...little washing I needed to do, I could do in the sink. The shops are just round the corner. There is the huge street market, Monoprix, which has a food basement (alimentation sous sol), and le petit Casino. No not a gambling joint, but a mini market. There is also a boulangerie, all within 5 minutes of the hotel.
As I said earlier, I made several trips out to St. Julien to visit relatives. This is a beautiful village in the 12em arondisement, in the banlieue de Marseille. You take the No 7 Bus from the Canabiere, and although it is only 15 minutes outside the city centre, it is very countryfied, and affords un view magnifique over the mountains, and there is a beautiful promenade over the covered canal, just off the main road.
Well there's Marseille for you! If you are looking for an alternative to the holiday resort, then I think...

...facade dates from 1863. Today, the Vieille Charité has become a pluridisciplinary science and arts centre. It houses INA (Institut National de l'Audiovisuel), Maison de l'Image, Ecole des Hautes Etues en Sciences Sociales, Institut Méditerranéen de Recherche et de Création, a documentation centre of the CNRS, the Museum of Mediterranean Archeology, and the Direction of the Museums of Marseille which organize large exhibitions here.
Well, I hope this "op" has enjoyed you to go to "Mars"... "Au revoir"
