About Marseille
France’s second-largest city may not have a particularly glamorous reputation but don’t let that put you off. The Vieux Port has the views, the bars and no shortage of good restaurants. And the action is still there to be had - and it’s easy to find.
Marseille has been a haven for hookers for hundreds of years and there are still plenty to be picked-up in the Port area. Strip clubs are limited but that won’t hold you back.
