Though to be fair, there are some forgotten musical gems, resurrected for our...

by Shalina Baksani Located in Provence, on the Mediterranean coastline, Marseille is more laid-back than neighbouring Cannes or Nice, and has plenty to delight its visitors. France’s second biggest city, Marseille has heritage dating back to the Ancient Greeks. Afterwards, it became a key part of the Roman empire, and has since retained strong ties with its bordering Italian neighbours.  The city also acts as a touchpoint for France’s colonies in North Africa: Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia.  This melting pot...
