Excellent post, flip_city. My thoughts exactly about Marseille, where I spent a very enjoyable week in Sta. Giniez last month. One of the highlights: a great meal at Lido Saigon, a French-Vietnamese restaurant just west of Plage David. As the French couple next to us remarked, "This IS the best Vietnamese restaurant in Marseilles!" Definitely going back for more!

Frankly, sounds like my kind of town.
I'm not sure that Chicago is the Marseille of the US.
But Marseille might be the Chicago of France.

Last time I was in Marseille I had quite a good (and cheap) meal at Le Moyen Orient, a Syrian restaurant just off the Vieux Port. Not a tourist in sight because they are all 50 metres away on the waterfront.
