A while back, I very much enjoyed reading BANJO by Claude McKay, a novelist associated with the Harlem Rennaisance. The characters include dockworkers, musicians, sailors from all over the Black diaspora trying to survive and enjoy life in 1920s Marseilles.
So I've been wanting to visit the city for some time. This colorful post certainly does nothing to diminish that desire!

Briefly my home town many moons ago. Great to see its anarchic spirit is undimmed
Alegra,
We’ve just finished a two week stay in Marseille, what a brilliant city to visit. And I agree with all of your recommendations, especially Journo.
