'''Marseille''' (Provençal: '''Marselha''') is the second biggest city of [[France]], located in the south.
== Hitchhiking out ==
Going to Marseille is usually easy, but getting out of it might be a bit more complicated as there are many highways crossing nearby.
=== North-West by A55, towards [[Montpellier]], [[Toulouse]], [[Barcelona]], [[Arles]] ===
Take the metro/tramway to La Joliette or Euroméditerranée Gantès and walk down the main street (Boulevard de Dunkerke) for Dunkerkefor a few blocks. There is the highway North-West (A55) that starts there (it's a bridge going up so it's better to stand at the traffic light just before it). A lot of the cars leaving from that point can take you out of Marseille's metropolis and leave you at Fos-sur-Mer, where the road is only one-lane and it's easy to get another lift.
Get a lift to the [[péage]], or the big [[petrol station]] "Lançon" and you'll easily get a ride to Lyon, Montpellier or anywhere further.
=== East to [[Nice]] and [[Italy]] and [[Toulon]] ===
== Public Transportation ==
== Internet ==
You can find computers with internet in the cenral library - Bibliotheque de l'Alcazar. Also they have free wi-fi, comfortable chairs, tables, sockets and toilet. You can use their wi-fi as much as you want. To use their computers you have 1 hour per each day. You need to make your own card with your personal login and password. To do it, you need any ID. Working time Tuesday-Saturday, 11-19:00. I managed to use the computers for ~3 hrs/day by closing my session when I had 10-15mins left and then moving to another computer and opening a new session. I always had another 59mins, besides the last time, when it changed to 49mins.
For a quick check you can also use the computers in Office de Turisme. If you need internet for longer reaserch I recommed going to Les Terrasses du Port, it's open everyday from 10.00 am to 8 pm (or even till 1 am - a part with restaurants).
== Sleep==
You can find a perfect spot to pitch your tent at the green beaches (called in french Parc Balnéaire du Prado) just get the bus number 83 and get off there, you can't miss it (and don't even think about paying, cause you'll be the only one to do that).
Do not do it on the beach! There are plenty of trees close by, do it there.
By the way, the beach strip in this part of the city is probably the best. Good luck!{{hitchbase_city|160}} I stayed at the above spot a few days ago; it really is in many ways a perfect spot. I was not bothered by the police, there is a grocery store (Casino), a cheap kebab place, and a cafe with wifi across the street. There are also public showers (typical outdoor cold water beach showers), which are great. However, be warned that around 4:30 AM, some sprinklers turned on and continued until about 5:30. Also a tractor combing the beach itself in the morning, so if you camp on the sand you will be woken up / run over == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{nomadwiki}} {{Cities France}}
