Novotel Marseille Est La Valentine, Marseille

Advantages: It's a Beautiful city with breathtaking views
Disadvantages: Going out for a drink can proove expensive.

...plate and 8€ for a big one, and you can pile up as much as you can get on that plate. It's gormet food, well prepared and all vegetarian. As for the shopping. A small Aubergine in an English supermarket costs .99p, and aubergine twice the size costs .60€ about .30p to .35p. I could go on quoting you price differentials like this. But then I'd end up saying more about the shopping than Marseille, which is what I'm writing about. There are plenty of sights to see, such as Notre Dame de la Guarde, which is a large church with a statue of the Virgin Mary overlooking the city. One can catch le petite train from Vieux Port (the old port), which will take you up to the church, which is well worth the trip. Not only to see the splendour of this magnificent building. But also for the view it affords you of the city and the islands just off... Read review

Advantages: Cheaper than England, great food, easy to get to, friendly people
Disadvantages: High crime rate, polluted (aren't all big cities??!?) Its French (Lol)

...takes just over 3 hours. The French TGV is the fastest train in the world and TGV are probably the best trains in the world. So it is slightly better than Virgin Trains or Connex South Central!! (The French government seem to take expenditure on rail travel seriously) And the other way to get to Marseille is by car; a long, long way but some people do it. I saw several English number plates whilst I was in Marseille. French lorry driver so I can't advise you to use that option. Notre-Dame de la Garde is perhaps the most well-known tourist attraction of Marseille and it is one definitely worth visiting. Notre-Dame de la Garde is a cathedral overlooking Marseille. The view is magnificent and from Notre-Dame de la Garde you can see all of Marseille. You can go inside the cathedral which is historical but frankly nothing particularly... Read review

...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... Read review
