Looking Back: Marseille, France
Update: 2025-05-17
Description
This month, I spent four weeks in Marseille—and I’ll be honest, it wasn’t the easiest city to settle into.
In this Looking Back episode, I’m sharing what made it challenging, what helped me feel grounded, and what I’ll take with me.
We’ll get into the city’s deep-rooted history, its complex present, and how that tension shows up in everyday life—from its layered neighborhoods to its midday rhythms.
I’ll also walk through what I’d do if I were just visiting for a few days, plus the things I wish I’d known before coming to this part of France.
