Advantages: A unique city, full of history and character Disadvantages: Racy reputation, some grim districts
less to offer than the truncated remains of the "Old Major" cathedral in its shadow.
Among secular buildings, the Palais du Pharo occupies a landmark position on a promontory to the south of the VieuxPort, and is surrounded by a pleasant park. Here, amid tamarisks, maritime pine and fig trees one can relax and enjoy views both out to sea and into the harbour. Built by Napoleon III it was completed in 1870, just in time for his downfall. Used as a centre for conferences, seminars and exhibitions, its interiors are reputedly elegant and sumptuous, but alas in my brief stay in Marseille I never went inside.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: exceptional Review of Marseille (France)
Advantages: Beautiful part of Marseille Disadvantages: Can have a few undesirables.
The Old Port is definitely worth a visit; it it situated in the centre of Marseilles, at the end of the famous Canebiere road. Its a great place to walk around, especially at twilight when the street and boat lights come on and the sunset reflects off the water. Some of the cafes with views of the boats are great to lounge around in and people watch, though they can get a bit pricey. The Old Port also has some of the nicest restaurants serving the famous "Bouillabaisse" a complicated but very tasty fish soup. Disadvantages however include lots of the local riffraff mooching around pestering lone girls or begging for money. The Old Port is also the palce to go for boat trips into the islands which are good fun. ...
Advantages: Gorgeous Climate, Beautiful Culture, Picture moment Scenaries Disadvantages: driving(?)
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 ...
