I'm an EU citizen. I've been living in the Netherlands for 6 years. Think about coming to a big city in France. Paris is extremely cool (I've been there a couple of times), but cold winters scary me a bit (almost like here in the Netherlands 🥶).
Is Marseille also a good option?🤔
Thanks very much for your CZcams.
You are welcome!
I spent a week in Marseille last 3rd week of June. One of my nephews is in graduate school in Marseille. I loved it! It has so much character, and I experienced the most friendly people! When people heard my English accent when trying to speak French, they would switch to English. Also, others would check it, to see if we needed help communicating. Funny, because my French nephew said people don’t speak English there. He was wrong. Hehe! It reminds me a lot of Lisbon. I met many Portuguese and Brazilians there. They just had a garbage strike, so there was trash piling up. If it weren’t France, I could live there. My nephews and their friends kept me out until 3, but through 2 am, I saw women walking on their own.
I wouldn’t be out that late in the US. Marseille is very brown, and I think there’s a bias against minorities. I also heard, it’s not as bad as it’s been in the past.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. We found the level of English there a mixed bag, but it was okay. The quote of the day is "If it weren't France, I could live there" because we can really resonate with that.
I’ve always enjoyed France, but the police are too present for my comfort. They also target minorities, very heavily. I saw it happen with the sanitation workers on strike, in June. There was a police van for each sanitation worker. They were only quietly picketing. That reminded me, it was still France.
This Marseille part was fun. As I have lived in Marseille for 1.5 years, in Northern France near Lille for a year, and been visiting Nice & Antibes for 20 years. Marseille I can dearly suggest for living with kids. Rents are reasonable, weather is excellent, people are friendly towards foreigners as a big portion of the people there originate from abroad. And the situation has been like that for thousands of years, already. Quality of food is high, and the prices are still quite low. From Arab markets in Noailles you will find the most fresh ingredients around the world. And from the French bakeries, the best (and clearly different tasting) baquettes and croissants to enjoy. Busses take to you to the beaches, which are seven in the city. Ferries take you to the islands in front of the city. I could move back.
Great video! Very informative!
Thank you! - Josh & Kalie
Planning to go next month. .. I wonder if the weather is good. . And will make more strolling fun 😊
We had great weather in the winter last year. - Josh & Kalie
I had an uncle who lived in Marseille for a time prior to coming to the United States.
Did he enjoy it?
