J'ai passé une excellente visite en tête à tête avec Jean-Marc, un habitant passionnant (et passionné !) du 7ème arrondissement de Marseille. Je le recommande les yeux fermés et n'hésiterai pas à faire à nouveau appel à lui à l'avenir !

I travelled with my husband and kids last Christmas. We were fortunate to have Jean Marc as our tour guide. You can tell he’s passionate for Marseille, very knowledgeable, easy to communicate with and flexible. He walk us through truthfully hidden gems while explaining the city in a fascinated way. He gave us a glimpse of Marseille and sure enough made us want to come back!
