I mean the actual city, not the stuff around it. Mostly because there's a lot of gangs and thieves and such. There's actually a few streets that ste fully controlled by gangs afaik. Like barricades made out of couches and shit and ambulances need an escort to get in and such.

Otherwise yeah, Aix, Cassis, and most of Provence are awesome.

That is legend, only legend. Far right propaganda. Marseille has a drug & gang problem (it's nationwide really) but none of that "no-go zone" talk is true.

Can't find the original anymore as it's been a few years, but there was this post on reddit about a street view car in Marseille. This is an article covering the thing. Nobody claimed it was fake at the time. Showed it to people that used to live in Marseille and they didn't seem surprised either.
