    36 +/- hours to burn in either Avignon or Marseille

    Or somewhere in between.

    Any suggestions on which would be a better place to melt a both a credit and SD card?

    Thanks

    Mike

    Well...that's a hard one. Both are very rich in history and great architecture, Marseille having the added bonus of being on the frontier of a clash of cultures with a lot of North African immigrents arriving there.

    Marseille has the sea, while Avignon has the river Rhône. Marseille is also considerably bigger. Avignon can probably be visited in a few hours, while Marseille would take considerably longer. Also there are many more things to see around Marseille (calanques,...) than around Avignon.

    Still, not an easy one to resolve, I haven't been more than once or twice to both towns, so can't really help much more, any way it's easily possible to burn through a lot of SD cards in both...

    Thanks, appreciate the insight. Getting on the plane tomorrow so your note was just in time.

    I may take the late train to Marsielle and burn the last 24 there. I am thinking I will go into "street mode" when I am in Marseille and see what comes of it.
