Previously, this was a city she avoided, worried about traffic and parking, not to mention Marseille’s reputation as a bit edgy. In her post she provides a list of resources for things to do and see in your two-days in this port-city.

The Barefoot Blogger, aka Deborah Bine, loves to share tales of her solo life in France as an American expat who speaks no French. Retired from a career in advertising and marketing communications, and divorced after a 40-year marriage with children, Deborah left Beaufort, South Carolina and all of her belongings last year to move to the south of France.
