I was so thankful to have your experience so I didn’t feel all alone about my. . . lack of appreciation for Marseille.

People ask me why i did not like Marseille and it was mainly because it wasnt what we went to France to experience. Maybe if i was single or working at an office job it would have been different but we were a family of five living in the 1 arrondisement in the middle of the most dense Arabic and Muslim community. We were looking like you to experience Provencal restaurants but only found pizzeria after pizzeria and kebab after kebab place. The restaurants around the old port were all over priced and not very good. Not a lot of wholesome kid activities like we have now in our town of La Garde.

SIGH, i could go on but i dont want to offend anyone.

Definitely! Meh is better than it being bad, and if someone absolutely loves every place they go I want to know what med they’re on. 😉

That said, it’s been a bazillion years since I was in Marseille (I lived/went to school in Avignon back in the… dark ages). But what I remember most was – we (my two dd’s then age 8 and 11 – about Tigger’s age, no?) took a ferry to Corsica and camped for a week. Highly recommended.

I can understand why some people like it, esp people who weren’t enamored with Paris. It just was a meh place for us.

I think the more we travel the more the general vibe of a place has an effect. We went to a small town near here and absolutely loved it. It was mostly the vibe of the place. The more places I visit, the more that vibe seems to have an effect.

It just gets hard to be satisfied with the places you go to, as we’ve started to find out recently.
