Technically the city proper of Marseille is bigger, however the metropolitan area of Lyon is quite a bit bigger, which is generally how the size of cities is measured these days, especially in Europe and Australia. Lyon also feels bigger, there is a lot more modern buildings and development, such as the Part-Dieu area (as well as historic buildings) and there is a lot more work in Lyon. So although in city proper terms Marseille is bigger, Lyon is France's true second city (although maybe not for tourists), and has a bigger city feel.
