20,000 Lieues – Les Goudes, Marseille
The Marseille locals have a saying when they want you to get lost, that you should “va te jeter aux Goudes” (literally, throw yourself to Goudes, i.e. go away). Les Goudes is a small fishing village at the outermost limits of Marseille. Traditional fishing families have lived here for centuries, there are Nazi bunkers dotted around the surrounding hills and the rocky coastline is blissful.
Head to the bar 20,000 Lieues (after the Jules Verne book, 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea) that overlooks the beach where you can swim before Happy Hour. Hunt down an outside table, order a pizza and enjoy the sunset with a few beers. Delightful!
