Voice of Travelers to Marseille
Vacation to Marseille
Hi my name is Linda. I planned a trip to Marseille by myself as I was exhausted from work and the daily routines. I needed a break so I got an air ticket from online websites. The travel agencies had different ticket rates so I ended up choosing an online website which has the least ticket cost. I had an incredible time in Marseille. The people were friendly and I blended in almost perfectly with my fluency in French you would think I am a local. The ticket on return was by Air France. I wish I had acquired the ticket from KLM who had better services in my opinion, next time however.
Family vacation in Marseille
I decided to take a trip to Marseille last holiday with my family. My husband had a free pair of ticket that were about to expire so we had to utilize them prior. We traveled to Marseille during the holidays and only paid for the accommodation rates the ticket fare was sorted. I had really anticipated for the trip to Marseille having had a great time in France a year ago. When we arrived we went straight to our hotel which was right next to the major town. We were able to access almost everywhere, the cafes, restaurants, tourist attractions and museums from out hotel in Marseille. I will get a ticket back to Marseille next year not yet done with the city.
