Marseille’s Quest: Breaking Free from the “Chicago à la française” Stereotype

Marseille wants to break its image of “Chicago à la française”. In recent years, the mythical city of Marseille has undergone a profound change. With the renovation of the city center, between the creation of the Museum on the Old Port and the renovation of mythical districts such as the Panier, Marseille is changing its face. But, despite all its efforts, the oldest city in France remains plagued by its old demons: crime, organized crime and unsanitary conditions. A sometimes difficult cohabitation between the luxury of new hotels and the ever-increasing violence of the most neglected neighborhoods. The redesign of the coastline and the difficulty of cleaning the city remain a reality, especially when we know that some inhabitants continue to throw their garbage out the window… So, like Barcelona or Lisbon, can Marseille succeed in its wager on becoming a “capital of the South”? Investigation in the heart of a city in turmoil.
