And reasons, demographics, organizations, and well... everything really, other than the fact that it's poor and full of crime.

No, it emerges from the position of Marseilles as an entry point and an interface between the Mediterranean and France proper. Hence the high immigrant population, and everything else flows from that.

Marseilles has always been a port, but it hasn't always been dangerous. Yes, it's interesting that it was long ago and is again today, but there were periods of prosperity in between. Last edited by Ben; 05-05-2007 at 12:22 PM.. |

Could that be because Europe was more insulated from the Mediterranean in certain periods between Roman times and modern ones? The similarity between the two being that in Roman times there was a mingling of very different cultures, facilitated by open sea-trade routes and booming-busting commerce.

Of course the Travel Channel was saying come to Marseilles, it's different now, you will like it. That city appeared to me to be a place where alot of different cultures converge on one another, Africa and Middle East meets Europe sort of thing. I have no doubt Marseilles would be a very interesting city to visit where anyone, no matter who you are would be welcome. |

Marseilles total population consists: 37% Italians 25% North Africans 12% Armenians Quick calculations tells that French and other ethnic groups takes only 26% of total population. Since there's significant amount of ethnic groups from Greece, German, Turkey and Vietnam, it leaves French population maybe to 15% to 20% total. It's kinda bizarre city population wise. French city with 80% non-French ethnic groups. |
