About Marseille

It is not wrong to describe Marseille as a city of immigrants. Immigrants, especially the ones escaping from Africa, sought refuge in this city for years. On one hand there are nice stores and clean streets in the old city, while at the same time some areas closer to the port are warn-down and a bit dangerous. 
 
It is a comfortable city in terms of transportation as it is a port city. There are train and bus connections to many cities of France. At the same time you can travel the Cote de Azur coasts by renting a car and visit beautiful and world-famous French cities such as Cannes, Nice.
 
Marseille is the second largest city in France after Paris.  You can visit places such as Notre Dame Le Garde Church, Prado, Calanques, and The Count of Monte Cristo's island. This city is famous for its surrounding lavender fields. The soaps should be first on your souvenir shopping list.
 
You can travel to many African countries by ship from Marseille. You also have the possibility to travel to other cities of France by train or bus. The Marseille Saint Charles Train Station is located in the heart of the city. There are shuttle buses every 20 minutes that depart from Marseille Airport, 30 km away to the train station.
 
The Mediterranean climate prevails in Marseille. The summers are hot and arid, the winters are worm and rainy. You can visit there nearly at any time of the year. But we can say that the most pleasant time to travel is the months of spring and autumn.
