"The Marseillais is suspected of stretching the truth from time to time, of embroidering and exaggerating. I wonder if this is because Marseille is a fish town, and the environment somehow encourages the natural instinct of the fisherman to improve on nature.Only in the sea around Marseille, so the story goes, do sardines regularly grow to the size of young sharks."
