Interesting, informative and lots of good food

Coc our host was passionate about Marseille, the people and the food. She took our group, to interesting bakeries and eateries which I doubt we would have found otherwise. There was a lot of food, but plenty of walking and interesting informaiton about the city and the waves of immigration that helped shape the city. Thank you Coco for a great 5 hours spent in your company
