Marseille's
nightlife
has something for everyone, with plenty of live rock and jazz, as well as the more choice pastimes of theatre-, opera- and concert-going. Virgin Megastore, at 75 rue St-FerrAŠol (Mon-Thurs 9am-9pm, Fri & Sat 9am-midnight, Sun 9am-7pm), and the ticket bureau in the tourist office are the best places to go for
tickets and information
on gigs, concerts, theatre, free films and whatever cultural events are going on. Virgin also stocks a wide selection of English books and runs a cafAŠ on the top floor. Other places with info are the book and record shop FNAC, on the top floor of the Centre Bourse (Mon-Sat 10am-7pm), the cafAŠ, travel agency and comic shop La Passerelle, 26 rue des Trois-Mages (noon-midnight), and the New Age music shop
Tripsichord
, next door. At any of these places, you can pick up a copy of
Taktik
, Marseille's independent free weekly listings paper, which comes out on a Wednesday.
The
clubs
around cours d'Estienne-d'Orves - mainly jazz, some Caribbean - are for trendy kids from the upper-crust
arrondissements
, with prices to match. Other useful information
