There can be parts of town with low maintenance in terms of trash cleaning but nothing mayor.
Q & A
What would you have changed?
I would have stayed another night in Montpellier to get to know the city better.
Anything go wrong during the trip?
There where some parts of Marseille that hadn't been cleaned out properly and you could see a lot of trash on the streets so it smelled funny sometimes.
How was the food?
There are a lot of good restaurants in Marseille, one I really liked is called L'Épuisette, it has a great location and the wine menu is extensive. They serve sea food. In Montpellier I really recommend Le Bistrok
What tips would you give a friend?
Stay in a hotel or Airbnb near downtown in both Marseille and Montpellier so you can be walking distance to many great spots.
Packing tips?
Be prepare for going hiking and swimming but also for a night of drinks and party.
Transportation Tips?
Taking the bus is a great option, is really cheap and none of the trips takes more than 2 hours
Booking details?
I personally did everything on my own, there are really easy cities to tour so I don't think a travel agency is necessary.
Lodging
We stayed in an Airbnb that was near downtown. It was really good and also its cheaper if you get to go with more people.
I stayed in a great Airbnb along 4 other friends. It's really the best choice since you can also cook at the apartment and be able to save some money
