Marseille Highlights

A little while ago, before the summer sun arrived in Lyon, we visited Marseille for the weekend. I was looking forward to a couple of warm, sunny days by the seaside. But I wasn’t prepared for the wind. Unrelenting, inescapable wind, which Marseille is apparently famous for, along with its soap.

Wind aside, we spent the weekend exploring the city, and took a local bus to visit the calanques. The calanques are rocky inlets along the coast. The water shimmers blue and turquoise, and they are dotted with fishing villages. The contrast with the sprawling city of Marseille is made even more remarkable by its proximity.

Here is a short video of the highlights for you. I used Graham’s Movie Splitter app to put this video together - so much easier.
