Yeah, I meant it as "touch of Maghreb", not that Marseille has an accent influenced by Maghreb French. I don't speak French beyond simple phrases and can't tell the accent differences in Metropolitan France anyways.
I always thought that Marseille had lots of people descended from Maghreb, not necessarily immigrants but second-third generation Algerians, Moroccans and the like, and "native" French relocated back to Metropolitan France following independence.
