I lived in Marseille for a couple of years in the centre and it was quite an experience! Cannot recommend it enough for the endless sunshine, beach with skateparks and great cafes, long avenues lined with trees for nice walks/skates and most of all the local day trips into the "Calanques" the pristine white cliffs, pines and blue sea to the East as well as the proximity of the Riviera, Aix-en-Provence and the constant day and night hustle and bustle of the place. The mainly North African markets (can't remember the name of the big one, maybe Capucines?) is absolutely amazing with the best fruit and veg selection I have ever seen. The downsides were the general seediness of some of the areas which I were pretty scary at night and the endless slums in the suburds.
