Marseille accomadation in Marseille
Posted: Mon June 15, 2009 11:43 PM UTC
We plan to stay in the Marseille region on 1 July-8 July 2009 and we have still to book hotel/hostel etc as we are unsure if we should stay in the city or in a small town nearby. Is Marseille considered expensive to live and eat or would VT members suggest it is wise to book a hotel in say, Aix en Provence?

It really is a last minute plan so we know that nearer our leaving date there will be less and less hotel rooms available but should it still be possible to find an inexpensive hotel/hostel in the Marseille region or is it very difficult in the month of July?

I would like to stay in Marseille city but my partner thinks it will be too busy. Is she right? Finally, if we avoid the tourist traps is it possible to eat at reasonable prices? Unfortunately, we are on a tight budget but I an sure there are other travellers in the same position as ourselves who have found some good value tourist attractions and places to eat.

Please let us know where they are!!!

Marseille one day sightseeing in Marseille
Posted: Fri May 15, 2009 04:49 AM UTC
I have about 8 hours to do all the sightseeing in Marseille that I can!
I am reaching at about noon in Marseille at the end of this month. (May) and will be departing for Paris the next morning.

I have researched a bit & found that there are tours of duration about 4 hours each that are conducted in Marseille.

One thing I very much want to do is the Calanques and Cassis tour. I would also like to do the city tour :)

My question is: with this limited time, if i start at around noon, is it possible to do these two tours in one day? (when does it get dark in Marseille in summer?)

Are there any private guided tours available in Marseille who would tailor the tour as per your needs?
Any contact info. of these tours would be terrific!

Thanks,
Coolchai

Posted: Wed May 13, 2009 08:45 PM UTC
Hello!

I have a 3 day france pass.
I plan to travel from Nice to Marseille & from Marseille to Lourdes in the last week of this month.

Is it necessary that I still book the tickets or make reservations?
Can I just show the pass and board the above two trains?

Thanks!

Marseille Place to stay
Posted: Wed May 6, 2009 10:56 AM UTC
Hi!
We are planning to go to Marseille in late August - beginning of September and wonder if anyone can reccomend a cheap place to stay. By cheap, I mean not B&B, no shared bathrooms/WC. Preferably, if we could rent a flat there or something like that.
BTW, can you swim in Marseille or should you go to some other place for that?

Thanks in advance for all answers!

Marseille Is Marseilles a safe city?
Posted: Tue October 14, 2008 01:35 PM UTC
I know that Marseilles has not got the reputation of being the safest city in France. Does anybody know which districts should better be avoided?

Is the underground a
practical way of getting around, or is it better to use the buses?

Thank you in advance for your replies:-D

Can anyone suggest a cheap but clean (and safe) hotel in Marseille, for less than 40 Euros for one person in a single room ? I don't need luxury of any kind (for example, I don't require a toilet in the room), but would like it to be a quiet place.
