I’m in Marseille now, and have been since yesterday – it’s quite a big city, and it was much more difficult to navigate from the train stations than the other places I’ve been to!
I had planned to be in Marseille before it got dark, but that didn’t quite work out with the train I caught from Arles, so that made navigating the town a bit harder, but I found a hotel that was reviewed decently by the Michelin travel books (yes, like the tires, too) and relatively close to a metro stop. It was easy to get to, and in a good central location – Vieux Port.
I hopped on a tour bus today and saw a good amount of the city that way, and it was also a nice way to learn about the history of the town that I likely wouldn’t have gotten other ways, not a bad deal! Afterwards, I wandered around some of the neighborhoods and a bit of the (incredibly busy) shopping districts. It’s a bit past 9pm now, and I’ve got to go and grab some dinner. More posts & pictures later!
