Marion : Sweetie darling ! How are you ? Mwa, Mwa ! (exchange kisses)
Sophie : Refreshed ! I've just spent the most amazing week in Marseille. And you?
Marion : The Chanel defile was sooo chic . So nice to see a bunch of stoque fiche as they say in Marseille se geler les alibofis on the toit terrasse of le Corbusier. It was 9 degrees and rainy. As they say here, it's like “la Bretagne au mois de Juillet”
.
Sophie : Marseille is so funny: The language is so colourful. I love it.
Marion : I went to the Panier. No insecurity at all, I took selfies there and nothing was stolen from me. And the people, all these bad boys…. so charming. They had so many flattering words greeting me. "Salope…. rentre chez toi… va te faire enculer". So friendly.
Sophie : I discovered the best restaurant ever. The T., in the charming village of Les Goudes. The cutest little harbour you’ve ever seen. So real Marseille, only 70e for a menu with undercooked poulpe . Si cheap. The locals told me it was the best “arnaque” in town, it means good value for money. Their bar is amazing too. And the service is so marseillais they take your commande only after 45 mn. And they give you the order of the table next to you it’s very friendly, so you can exchange your 15 euro plate of panisses with your voisins. So authentic. And the viewwwwww, amazing, you can totally see the raie du cul of the real marseillais and their pastis bellies. And you can smell the chicha on the beach and walk on broken bottles, I tell you this is the real thing.
Marion : Yeah, I went there too, but it’s a bit long 1h40 taxi ride from the Vieux Port and a bit expensive though… 250 dollars. But still, it’s so genuine, you know. So la France. People here are for real, you don’t mess with them. I am fed up with this fake Riviera you know. I need a break now, I need to stroll along Belsunce boulevard and experience the famous service à La Marseillaise in the bars. Somebody told me to go "niquer mes grands morts". I think it means « welcome and be my guest » in real francais.
Sophie : How they say here, this language is very « fleuri »!
Marion : In Belsunce, I saw a seagull eating a rat from a full poubelle, it’s s so trash chic. See it’s on my Instagram. It’s the new place to be regarding the PR officer.
Sophie : The PR officer told me the real inspiration for Disney Ratatouille comes from a trip the director took to Marseille. He was impressed by the respect the authorities have for the animals by never cleaning the streets and the garbage.
Sophie : I have an idea, let’s take the bus 83 to the Vallon des Auffes, it’s so crowded, we won’t be able to sit and it smells like bouillabaisse gone bad, j adore ! We should go and see the David or “Cul Mer, Vier Ville” as the locals call him !
Marion : I think Cumer Vierville is an explorer. Somebody told me he discovered the famous calanques of La Vesse and Niolon. I read it on the ultimate blog about Marseille advised by the PR officer, it’s galejades_for_trouduc.com. Keep it for you
Sophie : It’s just for insiders like us. Have some champagne, sweetie darling and then we'll take a ride on the 83 bus line and see what's shaking on the Corniche !
