Dream destination- Marcelle

#getgoing2025 Marseille is a city that surprised me in the best way! It’s walkable, quaint, colorful and filled with great restaurants and shops. There are also so many fun things to do in and around Marseille, making it a great base for a long weekend or a few-day long trip. The history of Marseille goes back to 600 BC, but is now home to famous bicycle races, soccer matches, and international sports events. France’s second-largest city, Marseille is located on the Mediterranean coast in the south and is blessed with a moderate climate, making it a popular travel destination all year round With over 2,900 hours of sunshine throughout the year, Marseille is the sunniest city in France, a reason good enough to visit it at any point and during any season! The most famous fact about Marseille is probably its history of soap. Production of soap started in the Middle Ages, because there was a surplus of raw materials, like olive oil and soda. In the year 1688, King Louis XIV passed the Edict of Colbert, which set the standards and qualifications necessary for using the revered Marseilles soap label. Avoid the area of the rail station Saint-Charles. Keep in mind that there are many pickpocket so careful with your barg and your mobile phones
