We know it, we Marseillais are often seen as the troublemakers, especially when it’s Paris handing out the gold stars. As a new showdown begins between the elected officials of the metropolis and the capital, we at Marseille Tourism choose to stay positive. We’ve decided to prepare some great tips to help you get through these fifteen days of "dry spell" without bars or restaurants. Since we’ll be staying at home, we might as well order some delicious dishes to ensure this period isn’t synonymous with gloom. It’s also a way to support Marseille’s restaurateurs, who are heavily affected by these new measures. We'll kick off this series of "great tips" with a classic from the Phocaean city: fish, of course! In other words, how to keep enjoying fresh fish when our favorite restaurants are closed, and why not get it delivered to your home? Why not! So hop on board, here we go!
