2nd mission in Marseilles...

Gare de Lyon, TGV and another short stay in the town of Marseilles!
Will I find my ideal nest, this time?




[FamousHostels] 
Here is the Old Port 'Vertigo', a cheap and very pleasant place to stay...
2 steps away from the pedestrian area all around the cours Honoré d'Estienne d'Orves 
and the Place des Huiles, full of bars and restaurants. 
(click to see the Slideshow):

























Vineyards in the heart of Marseille:
Paris has its own wine in Montmartre, Marseille will soon have 

its Vieux Port vintage.  
The city council has planted 150 vines last year in the tourist 
district of Saint-Victor at the foot of the Abbey, five minutes from 
the Old Port.






















This time it will be the 'total immersion' strategy in my targeted area, the direct contact with the native by 'hijacking' 
them in the street and the 'sit in and chat in bars' technique.
Yes, there are other ways than ask realtors to find an apartment.

First Mission to Marseilles...

Yay! Next G@tto's fief is going to be in Marseilles, south of the Vieux Port...

not far from the pedestrian area of cours Honoré d'Estienne d'Orves / place aux Huiles...

[On the left hand, the place aux Huiles, - on the right, the cours Honoré d'Estienne d'Orves]. 
In short, all the area south of the old port is going to be 'MyMarseilleFief'.

On my flash trip to Marseille from February 26 to 29: 3 nights at 2 different hotels:

Etap (ok) & Vertigo (great), both located in my favorite spot, south shore of the old port.

[Etap - 46, rue Sainte, 13001]


[Vertigo - 38, rue du Fort Notre-Dame, 13001]

- Seeking a flat around there with some outside space and
found it! - with two small
verandas, yay.
- Tested and approved 3 asian restaurants
, 2 Vietnamese
and 1 Japanese
, the thai being left for next time, with the
rest of the kind (no bouillabaisse, thanks).






Coming soon some other pics from my non-stop walking from the Catalans' beach to 
the Noailles' area, to get acquainted with the city...
