Default Re: Ask me anything about Marseille (and South of France)

Aix en Provence is a beautiful area, but when I went to Marseille I was less than impressed. It's basically a dirty port city with lots of poor immigrants and not much touristy stuff. Maybe it's cause I was there in the winter, I dunno. The only really interesting thing we saw was Chateau D'If, which was an island prison right off the coast where the Man in the Iron Mask was held. Also, the bouillebase (sp?) I had was pretty awful compared to previous tries.
