Admittedly, there's not much of a lgbtq+ scene in the conventional sense. One gay travel website holds out the delicious prospect of hunky, bare-chested sailors mending their fishing nets on the Old Port. Sadly, we've never seen much sign of any of these.
Marseille's LGBT subculture is discreet, low-key and rather un-camp compared to many European cities of its size and it has no clearly demarcated gay quarter - although you might also notice this secret quality as one of its charms.
All this said, you'll detect a number of spots clustered at the top of the Canebière and, unsurprisingly, in the hip Cours Julien / La Plaine distri
