Mediterranean multiculturalism

Over 120,000 immigrants from North Africa make Marseille their home. Between tea rooms, Moroccan restaurants, Tunisian pastry shops, live music from Algerian bands, hammams, and the use of burqas in a country where it is a violation of secular law, it doesn’t take long to realize that Marseille is a city of a different nature within France.
