The details of your upcoming experience

A word from your guide

Certainly one of the oldest members of the Meet People crew, but definitely not the least fun. A seasoned traveler, lover of fine bottles and healthy food, passionate about music in all its forms, and a fan of friendly encounters. According to my friends, I’m quite the expert on Marseille’s “trendy” spots!

I worked as a senior manager at Marseille City Hall for 25 years, so it’s safe to say I know the city inside out, with all its flaws and all its wonders.

Description of your future experience

In Marseille, there's the Canebière, the stadium, the Cours Julien and the Bonne Mère, but there's also Bompard, Roucas Blanc and Valmer, all magnificent neighborhoods that are still little visited! Of course, you've got to earn your way up there, and you'll have to walk and climb some pretty challenging ramps. So it's best to be in shape to discover these wonderful, little-known corners of the city.

“

Jean-Marc is a truly charming man who showed us around Marseille just like a friend. He’s very welcoming; you can tell he loves his job. We were a family with four teenagers, which is a challenge in itself. Jean-Marc met our expectations and gave us a great overview of Marseille. My only minor criticism is that I would have liked him to address the whole group more, rather than just the adults. We chatted a lot during the walk, which meant the kids didn’t learn as much. The older ones, in particular, would have liked to hear more from the guide. Thank you, Jean-Marc, for those three wonderful hours in Marseille!

It was a pleasure to walk around Marseille with Jean-Marc and learn more about the different neighborhoods and cultures that make the city so fascinating today. I’d wanted to visit Marseille for a long time, having read about its history and the influence of many different cultures and nationalities. Jean-Marc was enthusiastic about giving us a glimpse of the city, answering our many questions, and taking us on a wonderful tour. He also made several restaurant recommendations that we enjoyed. Thank you, Jean-Marc!

Jean-Marc was wonderful. He showed us as much of Marseille as possible. He’s knowledgeable, thoughtful, and a joy to listen to. I’d hire him again in a heartbeat!
