Marseille France

- Once the best park in the world, Marseille is still one of the best park in Europe second only to Rattenberg, Austria. The set up is perfect. There are a hundred lines, a few killer hips, bowls, and fast steel coping everywhere. Plus it sits on one of the most scenic coastlines in the world and has lights that stay on all night.

- From the St. Charles train station take the metro (red line) to Ste. Marguerite. Then take bus 47 to the Vielle Chapelle stop. It's the 1st stop along the coast. Head towards the water and you'll see the park.

- Auberge de Jeunnese Bonneveinne / A newly referbished hostel with a small bar and restaurant just a 5 minute walk from the park. Call from the train station to see if they have room. $12-$15 per person Ph 04 91 73 52 37

Casa Latina / A really cool little Latin Jazz bar and restaurant with cheap rooms upstairs. Live music , good food, and a really cool owner who speaks English. Doubles about $30-$40. Ph 04 91 73 52 37
