Marseille took me by surprise. It's not really a place I would ever have considered visiting, but I was in Provence for work, and flew into Marseille, so I figured that an extra day around a town by the sea (I loooove the sea) couldn't hurt, especially since I was curious to discover the MUCEM - turns out I was really disappointed by the museum and loved the town!
The evening I arrived, the local football team had a major win, and there was some big time partying all night. I think the Marseillais were still running high on the win for the few days I was there.
