Not quite in Marseille yet but can't beat a nice cold beer in the sun, sitting in a bustling square in Nice.

I was in that square myself only a few weeks ago for the rugby. Are you at Monsieur Albert?

Yes I am, really nice little square just off the promenade.

Not a chav in sight, why does Europe always look so much nicer than home....

You seem to be ignoring the giant yellow Donkey Kong luzzing barrels at all and sundry.

I've already seen the ambulances come and haul off a dozen tourists for barrel related injuries.

On to the beers

France does chavs very well indeed, they call them racaille.

Lots of beautiful places here and on the continent, lots of not so beautiful places here and on the continent. As for chavs, they're everywhere - especially somewhere like Marseille which is much more well known for violence than pretty.much anywhere in the UK ffs!! But theyre not likely to be seen in the most touristy parts obviously. If you ever lived in France you'd realise that there are a lot of so-called chavs

Yeah I've had a bit of a stroll around this morning and it's a lovely city.

Just need to find a sports bar to watch the CL games in tonight

I know, I know, but it is nice sitting in a foreign country having a coffee or a beer, watching the world pass by, not having to worry about work etc.
beautiful women seem to walk past, well dressed, in those moments you just enjoy life.
You must take into account I am in Lancing at the moment watching over weight mums pushing pushchairs, with their saggy boobs whilst looking at the phone in one hand while the other hand crams crisps into their fat cake hole.

@Wallace : a ovo postaje prilicno zanimljivo...

L91 runs in 25-30 mins from airport to St-Charles, and is easily the best value to get there. 10€ one way (discounts for groups or return tickets) , quai 6, running every 15 minutes and you can't possibly miss it.

Like I stated earlier there are absolutely no reasons this match should be classified high risk. It was a surprise it was. When we played sensitive matchs in the years before ultras were already a bit of a problem (more on La Plaine/ Cours Ju than on the Vieux Port) on tuesday if the match was scheduled on a Thursday. Today ... nothing, nada, zilch. I don't expect anything tomorrow neither, but maybe safer not to wear colours, one never knows. On the other hand it's still late summer here and there's no buzz in the air. We had like a major crisis some fortnight ago, we have a new coach, and we're in very deep trouble. We're way better enjoying the nice weather huh...

Well that shuttle trip was dead easy, helped take a lot of stress off the trip to the station! Exactly as everyone described. Thanks

Airbnb was 10 mins walk from station, checked in, eating fish n chips, getting tickets after. Everyone here real friendly and helpful. And it's hot!

They definitely do those nice squares better than we do, with cafes and bars where people just enjoy watching the world go by.

I know we have some, like the old market squares, but not in the same way or volume France or Germany has them with a cafe culture. If they are no longer used for markets, they tend to be glorified car parks.

Ah, on the 13:00 to Marseille here

safe trip, hope you avoid a damn good rogering by the Ryanair bag sizer!

Wasn't just me noticing that in the south of France then ……

That they do.

Agreed

That, or like New Road near the pavilion that has been gentrified, with nice flag paving and benches....

Get taken over, by the feckless and homeless blaring out a ghetto blaster, drinking white lightning and asking for any spare change mate...
