letsgo39 Posted July 18, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Sounds like Marseille has the problems of many big cities in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaseballMomof4 Posted July 19, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Thanks for sharing. We visited Marseille in 2013. Went to the Old Port and shopped all the streets and alleyways near there, then went to Notre Dame de la Garde. Never felt unsafe and really enjoyed this port.

TheWren Posted July 21, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Thanks for posting that. I'm visiting Marseille this autumn and it was once place I was a little dubious of, so it's helpful to get such a report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclospora Posted July 22, 2015 #7 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Hmm...... looks less appealing now! Not because of the crime thing - but it didn't show Marseille off at all. I am planning on wandering around the old town but that film made it look as if there is just rejeneration by building weird shaped glass buildings!

dallas16 Posted July 22, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Marseille is a lovely city with a very beautiful old port area in the city centre. Billions of euros have been spent on new hotels, museums and other facilities as part of the European capital of culture and there are some lovely beaches near to the city centre. The cathedral is enormous and definitely worth visiting as it is really stunning inside. For anyone interested in modern architecture, the MUCEM is a very beautiful piece of architecture particularly at night when it is all lit up Marseille has changed a lot from its previous image but it is no different to most cities in that there are nice areas and bad areas. There are more than enough things to keep you entertained for a day in Marseille Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
