<h2>Marseille</h2>
France's second largest city, and home to a metropolitan population of nearly 2 million people. Marseille is one of the largest cities on the Mediterranean.&nbsp;As the capital of the Provence region, Marseille is an excellent base to explore the south of France.
For many years Marseille has struggled to shake off it's reputation as an industrial port city. Now visitors are welcomed to a vibrant cultural centre that is blessed with gorgeous weather in the summer months.
When in Marseille, you will find excellent cuisine (you must try bouillabaisse), historic architecture, fantastic shopping opportunities, a diverse gay scene and museums galore.
&nbsp;
<h2>Gay Rights in France</h2>
For gay rights in France, please see our <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/essential-guide-to-paris/">Gay Paris City Guide</a>&nbsp;page.
&nbsp;
<h2>Gay Scene</h2>
Unlike Paris, Marseille does not have a defined gay district. Most of the gay venues are scattered throughout the city resulting in a quirky and unique gay scene with its own distinct flavour.
The "tough guy" image attached to Marseille still hangs over the city, so public displays of affection are relatively uncommon. Marseille does, however, host a large and vibrant pride celebration on the first week of July.

You will need to take the free shuttle from Terminal 2 to Marseille Vitrolles where a direct train takes you to Marseille Saint Charles in 15-25 mins. Services run from about 6 am until around 10.30 pm with more services around rush hour. Singles cost &euro;4.50 and can be bought online, at the airport or at the station.

Taxis are available from the airport and to the centre of the city. They will cost around &euro;50-60 depending on time of day, the amount of luggage and any tolls on the road. You can book in advance to save time. As always make sure you get in an official taxi to avoid being ripped off.
By train
Marseille Saint Charles is a well-connected rail hub with good links to the rest of France. A high-speed rail service links Marseille to destinations in Spain, Italy, Belgium, Germany Switzerland and the Netherlands. The Eurostar service also links Marseille to the UK.

&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h2>Getting around Marseille</h2>
On foot
Marseille is best explored by foot as only then can you really get a feel for its winding streets. It can, however, be extremely hot in the summer months and the walk up to the old town is quite steep.
By metro, bus and tram
Marseille is incredibly accessible via its integrated public transport system with two metro lines, two tram lines and an extensive bus network getting you where you need to be. Singles cost &euro;1.60 per hour and day tickets cost &euro;5.20.
Metros run from 5.30 am to 10.30 pm Monday to Thursday with services extended until half past midnight over the weekend. Trams run from 5 am to 1 am every day. Buses run regularly throughout the day with a less frequent night bus service available.
By water taxi
Mostly an experience for tourists, the popular water taxi offers water crossings from Vieux-Port to destinations on the waterfront. Services are hourly and run until later in the summer months (depending on weather forecast). Tickets start from&nbsp;&euro;5 and can only be bought on board.
By taxi
It is easy to find taxis in Marseille but as with any major city be careful not to be ripped off. Pre-booking is advised to ensure you get the best rate. Most taxi drivers will speak English as well as French.

&nbsp;
<h2>Things to See &amp; Do</h2>
Vieux Port - Marseille's old port has been the city's focal point for centuries. From here, you can people watch and admire some formidable medieval architecture.
&nbsp;
Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde - Marseille's most prominent landmark. This neo-Byzantine church offers fantastic views over the harbour.
&nbsp;
La Canebi&egrave;re&nbsp;- an elegant, almost Parisian boulevard with a multi-cultural feel. Here you will find a vibrant North African community with a fantastic market just off the street.
&nbsp;
MuCEM (Mus&eacute;e des Civilisations de l'Europe et de la M&eacute;diterran&eacute;e) - here you can explore the ancient and fascinating history that sprung up around the Mediterranean Sea. The building itself is impressive also.
&nbsp;
Le Panier&nbsp;- another wonderfully historic district of Marseille that is great to explore. It really is worth the steep journey up the hill!
&nbsp;
Ch&acirc;teau d'If - historic castle on an island in the harbour just a short ride away by ferry. This island features as a location in Alexandre Dumas' novel The Count of Monte Cristo.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Mus&eacute;e d'Histoire de Marseille - a great museum to explore Marseille's vibrant history. This musuem has exhibits stretching back to Roman times.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Villa M&eacute;diterran&eacute;e - an eye catching structure designed by the architect Stefano Boeri in 2013. The building is almost more impressive than the actual museum it hosts.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h2 class="rmq-c48d88d6 Heading" data-radium="true">When to Visit</h2>
&nbsp;
Marseille enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate for most of the year, with the summer months experiencing scorching temperatures. May through to June is probably the best time to visit as the weather is not so sweltering and there are not so many tourists.
That being said Marseille's Bastille day celebrations in July are legendary and compared to Northern Europe, winter in Marseille is very pleasant. It is not uncommon to see North European tourists dining alfresco while Marseille residents are wrapped up.
&nbsp;
<h2>Money</h2>
France is a Euro area country. Cash dispensers are widely available. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted. Hotels, banks and some local businesses also operate foreign exchange desks.

The ability for MSMs (men who have sex with men) to donate blood or tissue for organ transplants. A deferral period refers to a waiting time before a man can donate after having sex.

In July 2019, Minister of Health Agnès Buzyn announced that the deferral period would be reduced to four months of abstinence from 2 April 2020.

Proposed in 2015, the indefinite deferral was replaced by a 1 year deferral in 2016.

In 1983, in response to the HIV epidemic, the Directorate General of Health banned MSMs from donating blood indefinitely. This ban was reiterated in 2009.

Non-binary gender is not available. In 2023, the European Court of Human Rights decided in the judgment "Y. v. France" (2023) on the legal recognition of the gender of an intersex person. Specifically, on the case of a person who had been refused by French authorities the possibility to modify their gender marker to reflect the term "neutral" or "intersex". The ECHR rejected that such a decision was in breach of the European Convention on Human Rights, stating that, given the relevance of such a change to the otherwise binary French legal system, it was for the French state itself to reform its legislation beforehand. However, it acknowledged that future developments in Council of Europe member states could change its interpretation. 
 
A court ruled in August 2015 that an intersex plaintiff who was designated male at birth, could use the term “neutral gender” on personal official documents. This decision was overturned by a French appeals court.
