Before Emanuel and I arrived at our final destination (Lacoste, France), we had to make a stopover in Marseille. Now, Marseille isn’t necessarily one of those cities you add to your bucket list. In fact, it has a harsh reputation because of the organized crimes that took place around the port, so I can’t deny I was less than excited to visit but boy, was I wrong.
Marseille is unbelievably gorgeous! There’s a metropolitan buzz with a pretty prevalent hip hop and fashion culture (I was taken aback by how trendy most of the locals were) and fun fact; it’s the second biggest city in France.
Then there’s the view! Something about bodies of water next to hills or mountains create the IDEAL type of scenery. Emanuel and I stayed at the Pullman Marseille Palm Beach Hotel, and this is where we got to experience the beauty that is Marseille.
We only had less than 48 hours so we didn’t get to explore the city as much as we wanted to but I’ll make a separate post on things I learned and as well as the interesting things to do.
So, the biggest lesson learned? Stray away from the typical, cliche cities! There are so many gems out there if you go off the beaten path. Nothing a little research can’t help. 😉

First off I would like to say awesome blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing. I have had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out. I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips? Cheers!
