How did you go about ordering shabbos takeout? I tried emailing them to ask and my emails keep being returned to sender.

I ended up just going in on Friday versus order in advance. They didn't have everything, but was enough for two people.

I have one night to spend somewhere between Nice and Marseille in August.

Any hotel that is "not to miss"? How about any with a private pool?

It's pretty straightforward. Sixt in NCE has the most high-end cars if you want to try negotiating to pay for an upgrade.

Thanks,

Anyone have info what route to take?

Either the A8 or should I drive along the coast? Is the scenery something not to miss? or will it take too long being it's a local road?

Also, any info on the jewish community in Marseille? I don't see any Chabad Restaurants, although there a lot under the local Beth Din. Is the community what we would call heimish? Would it be similar to Florence or, say, Milan or, even better, London?

ask your LOR about the local kashrus, not everybody relies on the local Bet din, every city in France has its own policy’s

The problem is that my LOR would have no clue about the locals.

Anyway,  renting a car was a breeze at enterprise. No hassle, no sales push for insurance. Returning was also easy just like anywhere else.

There was traffic on the coastal roads so I just took the main highway. Lots of tolls along the way and that caused quite some traffic before the booths.

Be careful which lane you choose as I got stuck in a no cash or card lane. I'm waiting for the bill from the rental company to see what my mistake cost me.

I first drove to Sanremo, in Italy, and the scenery was unreal. Then from Nice to Marseille was like NYC to Catskills. Nothing exciting.

Didn't end up eating in Nice as they only open at 7pm.
