Marseille ratings & reviews
What our students said about Marseille
The evaluation does NOT refer to Marseille but to the teacher's location, Velaux. Marseille can at best be reached by car, by public transport only very time-consuming. And Velaux is very sleepy and unattractive...

Information about Marseille
Why Marseille? The cosmopolitan port town of Marseille, founded by the Greeks around 600 B.C., is France's oldest city. One of the city's greatest assets is the wild natural beauty which surrounds it. The gateway to Africa and a crossroad for many ships in the Mediterranean, Marseille has always been a cultural melting pot, which is reflected in the widely varied architectural styles found around the city.
