Bac Nord - a new film set in Marseille

Here's a new film, recently shown at the Cannes Film Festival in July. The northern districts of Marseille hold a sad record: the area with the highest crime rate in France. Driven by its hierarchy, the BAC Nord, a field brigade, constantly seeks to improve its results. In a high-risk sector, the cops adapt their methods, sometimes crossing the yellow line. Until the day the justice system turns against them.

Couples vacations in France

During the month of September, the tourist influx is less important than in the middle of the summer season. Quite simply, because it is the start of the school year, and the return to work for adults. This is why we offer a selection of high-end properties for couples or small groups ranging from 2 to 5 people.
