marseille
marseillestylish, proud, traditional and multicultural: marseille, france, is all these things.
sip pastis on café-lined canebière, wander the revamped panier
district, where greeks settled in 600bc, and dine on bouillabaisse (fish soup). warm up
scrambling over the calanques (cliffs), and be cooled by the mistral breeze. and,
as this is the cradle of french hip-hop (some say), you won't want to miss the
nightlife, bien sur!

eurostar on the move
remember, eurostar is moving on 14 november 2007 to st pancras international, our
new home in the heart of london.
it's easy to reach marseille with eurostar; simply change at paris, and
travel on to marseille with our partner, tgv.
change at paris gare du nord…
… then take an rer high-speed commuter train line d (or taxi) to paris
gare de lyon for frequent connecting trains. the typical journey
time of 7 hours from london allows time for you to change in paris, but this
is intended as guidance only. we'll give you more precise times when you
book your ticket.
from ashford international, kent ...
… take 50 minutes off any of these journey times from london.
from 19 november onwards, ebbsfleet international will open, helping
ashford international serve kent and the south east. for travel from
ebbsfleet international, take 10 minutes off journey times from london.
marseille saint-charles station
tread lightly: marseille saint-charles is located right in the heart of the city
close to la canebière, the bustling downtown area, as well as the vieux
port, so it's easy to get into marseille on foot. there are also two metro
lines and a number of buses at the station. another environmentally friendly option
should be available by the winter of 2007; bikes will be rentable from the station
for as little as €1 per hour. taxis are readily available on level -1.

tips with us, just email eurostartips@whatsonwhen.com
marseille at the top
climb up to the domed basilica of notre-dame de la garde, topped by a
gilded virgin - known affectionately as the bonne mère (good
mother) - for the best view of the city (you can also take a petit train).
stay on top of things with a visit to the panier district, recently
renovated and just short of trendy, where you'll want to rummage
for pottery, crafts and antiques. get there via the montée des
accoules to the hôtel-dieu, and finish at the
préau des accoules children's museum.
nothing fishy about that
from the provençal bolhabaissa, meaning to boil then to
reduce, bouillabaisse is a fish soup that takes itself very
seriously. restaurants actually compete for the
"véritable" label, there's a strict
charter to adhere to! containing stock, different kinds of cooked fish and
shellfish as well as a secret blend of herbs and spices, the whole lot is
mixed à table, then sprinkled with rouille, a fiery
mix of bread crumbs, olive oil and chillies. the dish also appears in roman
mythology as the stuff venus fed her husband to put him to sleep, so that
she could go off and frolic with other gods.
scents, sights and flavours
marseille is bliss for gift shopping. bring back provençal honey,
little sachets of lavender or herbs and famous marseille soaps
- they come in dozens of colours and scents. that's the kids
sorted, then. for belle-maman (or yourself), a bed throw or
tablecloth in a vibrant provençal print will brighten up dull rooms
back home. for christmas, bring back santons figurines donning
traditional costumes. folkloric marché du prado (monday to
saturday morning) sells all these, and more.
explore the lofty calanques
limestone skyscrapers sprouting over turquoise waters, it's hard to
resist marseille's cliffs, or
calanques
. they stretch over 20km, between callelongue and port
pin. see if you can spot rare species like gouffé grass
exploring the nature reserve (careful, fire hazards mean it is
interdit to the public in summer), then sprawl on one of the secluded
beaches accessible by foot. you can either hire a private boat with skipper
to live out your med fantasies, or go en famille
marseille la nuit
with its heady mix of cultures, marseille by night caters to a wide range of
clubbers. lovers of zouk and world music head to montréal
club or l'alizée. looking for a chichi
place to sweat in? la maronaise is firmly nestled in the folds of a
creek; go for the views and the al fresco dance floor. badass marseille
gyrates to live hip-hop at le balthazar, while renowned and unknown
jazzmen and women riff at le pelle-mêle.

united in sports
the olympique marseille, the city's blue and white football team, is
dear to the marseillais' hearts, they even have their very own
café in the vieux port! i watched a league game there with my sons,
their england shirts started conversations, well, gestures, more like
it, because we couldn't understand them or them us! but it was a
relaxed afternoon, we thoroughly enjoyed it. freddy holms, manchester
where: l'om café, 3 quai des belges, marseille
comme chez soi
a brilliant way to experience provençal hospitality is by choosing a
maison d'hôtes over a hotel. they work like english
b&b's, but i found our host so much more involved and
welcoming than other places i've stayed in the uk. marie even makes
her own jams! kelly and chloe vance, milton keynes
where: marie botella, n°17, place alexandre labadie,
marseille, +33 (0) 4 91 62 95 72
culture cool
marseille's history starts in the 6th century bc, so the
musée d'histoire de marseille is a good place to take it
all in. the presentation is very clear, very well laid-out. and it was good
to escape the scorching sun for an afternoon. chris mannings, kent
where: musée d'histoire de marseille, square
belsunce, marseille, +33 (0) 4 91 90 42 22
bouillabaisse warning
beware the fake bouillabaisse! a little tip from a marseillais friend; when
the locals don't know where to eat, they head for rue sainte, by
the quai de rive neuve. there are countless restaurants on the strip, none
too expensive, such as la part des anges, chez honoré, le comptoir
des favouilles and many more. liesbet holsters, brussels
where: l'om café, 3 quai des belges, marseille
