Worst city for partying?

Marseille finds itself in last place on the ranking of the most festive French cities, with a score of 53.58 out of 100. It is closely followed by Reims and Nîmes with 54.77. Although it offers a great variety with 368 bars and 20 nightclubs, the city is somewhat disadvantaged by its only casino (which isn't even located in Marseille but in Cassis, 16km away) and its high prices for a drink. Several factors explain this position... The public transport system in Marseille, including buses, trams, and the metro, has more limited schedules compared to other major cities like Paris, making late-night travel less convenient. The nightclubs, while numerous, aren't as prestigious as those in the northern metropolises. Safety can also be a concern, with a crime rate higher than that in other French cities.Nevertheless, Marseille remains a charming city that offers plenty of places to party.

It's our turn to prove this ranking wrong and bring back the beauty of Marseille's nightlife!!
