I have never been to Marseille before so this summer I added it to my list of cities to visit with an ulterior motive of potentially retiring there some day soon. At this point in my search for a city on the Mediterranean to retire in, Barcelona has a huge lead, with other smaller cities on the list as well. Up until now France was not on my list of countries I want to retire in, but after visiting Marseille I really loved the place for many reasons: food, yes food is great in this city, entertainment is awesome, so much to do with parties in every plaza until 1 am everyday!! The people are also very nice in Marseille, at least the ones I ran into so all in all Marseille ended up on my list and yes I do "Parle Francais" a huge plus off course…Marseille also has a huge Algerian population so somewhat a home away from home for me…
