How do I meet people in Marseille?
When we asked people living in Marseille about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded:
"Expats in Marseille often join various clubs and activities to meet new people and immerse themselves in the local culture. These include language exchange groups, where they can practice their French and help others learn their native language. They may also join sports clubs, such as football, rugby, or sailing clubs, which are popular in the coastal city. Cultural activities are also a great way for expats to meet locals and other expats. This could include joining a local cooking class, attending art exhibitions, or participating in wine tasting events. Expats often participate in local festivals and events, such as the FĂȘte de la Musique or the Marseille Jazz des Cinq Continents, which provide opportunities to socialize and learn about French culture. Volunteering is another way expats meet people in Marseille. There are numerous charities and organizations that welcome the help of foreigners, and this can be a rewarding way to give back to the community and make new friends. Networking events and social gatherings organized by expat groups are also common. Websites like Meetup or Internations often have events specifically for expats living in Marseille, ranging from casual coffee meetups to more formal networking events. Finally, many expats meet people simply by going about their daily lives, such as at the local markets, cafes, or parks. The key is to be open and willing to engage with the people around you," said one person in Marseille.
