A group of mums travelled to Marseille for 72 hours after bagging return flights for £17 – and dashed home in time for work. Anne-Marie Moss, 45, escaped to Marseille, France, with her mum pals - Jill, 50, Elisabeth, 50, and old school friend Rachel, 45 - on May 14, 2023.
The friends soaked up the sun and spent their three-day break cruising around the coastline, eating at a circus-themed restaurant and on a Segway tour of the city. They spent £97 each for their hotel for two nights, £20 for parking and used £108 spending money for all the activities and food.
The mates had three full days in the French city before arriving back in Manchester on May 17 at midnight - getting back in time for work and school runs the next day. For Anne-Marie this is her ninth cheap getaway in two years – and the friends are already planning to return.
