Hi, I’m Virginie, and what I love most about Marseille is that there’s always something to discover – from concerts and exhibitions to quiet walks by the sea. I adore how the city shifts from lively streets to peaceful coves, from modern spaces to charming, historic neighborhoods, all enriched by its multicultural spirit and incredible food scene. Some of my favorite moments are simple ones: watching the sunrise at the beach, catching the sunset near Notre Dame de la Garde, or spending Sundays at the Old Port market before strolling through the Corniche or the Panier. I know the heart of Marseille inside out – from the Old Port and Cours Julien to Prado beaches and the Frioul Islands – and I’m passionate about sharing its food, history, and hidden gems. With me, you’ll experience Marseille in a way that feels authentic and alive.
