Marseille - a very pretty city in the south of France

Marseille doesn't have a great reputation; High crime numbers and the position of Le Pen make this second(!) city of France not very popular with tourists. Most visit for a couple of hours or stay at Aix De Provence. But being the European Cultural Capital of 2013 might change that (together with a whopping €450 million investment). So this week we are visiting La Douce France :-) First impression is great: it is an ancient city with roots going back to the Grecian and Roman times with lots of heritage. The center is also compact and human sized. (Oh: and the food is fab!)
