Aix is beautiful! The whole coast is too like Nice etc.
Marseille though is like the dumpster of France.
That is such a weird take. I'll temper it some, if you don't mind. Nice is a far right shithole, has been for a couple decades. Marseille on the other hand is the definition of a mediterranean harbour : diverse, rich, populous, mysterious. One will never know Marseille without dipping one's toes. Then perhaps it will reveal a couple of its secrets. It's an ancient place full of nooks and crannies, fiercely antifascist and mesmerizing for anyone versed in urbanism. It's definitely earned -a skim on the surface will likely not get you far.
What makes you say that about nice? Been there many times and I'm not a fan of the city, but for other reasons. I'd have imagined a far right shithole to be...whiter, if nothing else.
