Marseilles is located on the south east of france, near the mediterranean sea - hosts a beautiful climate - lovely hot weather perfect for achieving a tan.
Marseille is the second largest city in France, the region where Marseille is the capital of its region 'Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur ' and is well used for shipments etc.
Around August months the temperature is easily 30 degrees C. It shares a mediteranian climate of hot, humid and dry, the coldest months are January and february (11 degrees C)
Marseille is of great importance to france, - look at the french national anthem - la marseille.
When i went to marseille i stayed in a great villa/cottage
with a private swimming pool, i strongly recommend you get a cottage with a private pool it makes the entire holiday worth-while. The pool wasn't heated as the climate is so hot 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 Centre Bourse 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! But if your a good confident driver willing to drive on the right hand side of the road a car is great because you can explore at your own leisure. - I recommend you learn some french makes the locals like you more - The locals and all french people i met were extremely friendly - we'd always ask for places like la supermarche (supermarkets) and people would actually guide us all the way there sometimes.
If you like culture holidays you'd love the kind of things you can visit. You should take a brochure with you so you can pick the places of interest - we went to the city of Orange (accent on the e) which has amazing orange dunes we walked through - looks like the grand canyon (i think this is where we saw most of the stuff like a large Roman theatre overlooking the sea (with english audio guide headphones) - (BEAUTIFUL PICTURE MOMENTS) In Orange we also took a pic with the arc de triumph.
Food there is excellent, like we have hot dog stands - icecream vans, there they have pizza vans - and i must say the pizzas were absolutely delicious and very different to what we are used to here (much thinner/crispier). In marseille they love their fish dishes, which are pretty good.
Its important to note that marseille has a natural culture. That is why you wont really find packaged holidays to marseille, (a bit touristy) you would mostly arrange your own visits there, but its still a great experience in my opinion.
A nice hotel with swimming pool may cost just under 100 pounds a night.
There are places just outside Marseille worth visiting, the shakespeare thing for example and a place i went to called Toulon (largest opera house after paris)
During my journeys around France you find alot of lavender fields, - purple flowers which give a great smell, the roads can be quiet depending on which areas you visit.
In marseille itself there are lots of ports and harbours you will see with boats and stuff.
Overall the atmosphere of Marseille - created by the french language, the locals, the serenity and most of all the climate make marseille a great relaxing destination filled with culture.
Ive got some amazzzinnggg pictures and my home video of the holiday. I might upload some pictures to my website or to Ciao at a later date. You can contact me for pictures through my site www.mopages.co.nr
Overall I would strongly recommend a trip to Marseille - unless your into night-clubbing etc - though i heard marseille has them i never saw them. Marseille would be loved by slightly older people - though when i went i was very young - (enjoyed the swimming pool and climate the most). Best place to visit is the roman theatre in Orange. I now love the french people and the french language.
(i put nightlife as good because i remember there was this great night time market - beautiful scene and beautiful prices)
(I am currently scanning holiday pics i took, damn i should be a photographer!)

Review of Marseille (France)
Advantages: An interesting Vieux Port (old port) area, good accommodation options nearby Disadvantages: A noticeably high crime rate, not a great deal to see outside the port and coast areas
