"There’s often a contrast drawn between the luxe escapes of the French Riviera and the edgy urbanity of the city of Marseille. But at Le Petit Nice, thanks to the hospitality of the well-known chef Gérald Passedat, Marseille displays its own vision of Mediterranean luxury. This is a family affair from the beginning, established by the Passedat family in 1917. But anyone looking to history to find Le Petit Nice’s golden age is looking in the wrong place — it’s as spectacular right now as it’s ever been." - Tablet Hotels
