Okay. When imagining Southern France, I had visioned quaint towns, tied together with small shops, wineries, casual cafés along the oft-unpaved back roads, littered with Michelin-star restaurants off the beaten path.
I was wrong.
A day trip to Marseilles was a HUGE disappointment. I did not know that the city would be so unattractive, devoid of charm, and unsafe. Seems like everyone knew, but me. You go in, then turn around and leave.
The internet failed me.
