Discovering France's regions via gastronomy: Marseille, a Mediterranean melting pot • FRANCE 24

Bordering the French Riviera, Marseille is a one-of-a-kind place in France with a soul of its own. The colourful metropolis is famous for being the sunniest city in the country and a fascinating destination with a rich history. The southern port city has been at the crossroads of trade and immigration since it was first founded in 600 BC. All this has made Marseille into a Mediterranean melting pot with a diverse cultural and gastronomic heritage.

Yup. Marseille is a state of mind. That's for sure.

Ce petit reportage est sympa mais bien pauvre on ne peut pas décrire Marseille en une quinzaine de minutes Peut être une partie 2 😊

[@juxbertrand]

surtout commettre le parjure le plus abominable dès la 7eme seconde de placer Marseille sur la "French Riviera" - Côte d'Azur. Marseille est en Provence Madame. On est dans le paysage du platane, et pas du palmier. On y parle fort, mange ailé, et on aime pas les Niçois. Tain, relis ta géographie avant de nous exposer devant les estrangers.

Thank you for the wonderful video. Loved it.

[@benjamindover4337]

Wonderful!

Hi! I am in a French 11 class and we just watched this video. The town of Marseilles looks beautiful! Thanks for the informational video! - Canada

[@andywatts8654]

Please could you review/describe the taste of the dishes a bit more than just ‘delicious’ or other one word answers?! Thanks!!

I love Nice too much, it's a walking city by the beach, what's not to love, i can take 2eurp bus to Cannes, Monaco, grasses for the perfume workshop. I was told marsselle is dangerous 😢, so i didn't want to risk it. I just walking all over Nice.

[@therenaissanceredneck8825]

Nice and Marseille(⬆️) are totally polar opposites. Nice is more glitz and glam. Marseille(⬆️) is not. I encourage you to put what you heard aside and visit with an open mind. It's not the same vibe. I'm going in July and can not wait.

Good hosts but I do not understand why they use their hands so much as they say their script. It does not make things more interesting , it is distracting. Marseille is an extraordinary city. I loved it. So much more interesting than the north of France. The north is so blocked up in their rigid hierarchies and traditions, that they are stressed and neurotic as a result. They make their own children miserable in their schools system for example. The reputation of Marseille is almost a good thing becasue it keeps lots of uptight tourists out of there.

Not all people in France make pastis with mixed ingredients.

[@jonasbaine3538]

Is the a puff piece and marseille is dangerous waste of time or it’s worth visiting from USA?

[@AndreiGrigoriev-rm5in]

Вольные Странники Космоса!?

[@janie7242]

Could you visit the Grenoble & Grand Est region in France? Need more reports in those areas, not just famous Paris or other popular tourist spots.! Thank you. 🤓❤ PS. Why travel to Marseille with an American group a few years back, the guide said~ it was not safe in many areas of the City! Crime rate is high there? I wonder.😳

[@___beyondhorizon4664]

Someone in Nice also told me that 😞

[@clubmogambo3214]

Referring to Marseille as a 'melting pot' is putting it quite delicately. Walking a sizable portion of this city is like an excursion thru Mogadishu. Stick to the old port and surrounding areas or the main boulevards.

[@touchofgrey5372]

Ahhh, Marseille! Ask French citizens about the most dangerous cities in their country, and most will say Marseille immediately. Have body guards, will travel!

[@marcblum7493]

Marseille is the ninth dangerous city in France way below Paris, Lille, Rouen, Lyon and even Bordeaux.

Dump genie and let Flo be the only presenter. Two is too much

[@andywatts8654]

Who wants to eat alone?! Stop talking nonsense and let it go
