a friend who lived and worked in this area for several years told me there are three things to see in Marseille and then you can leave. one is the basilica on the hill, the other one is the old port and having bouillabaisse soup and the other one is maybe less interesting but probably the beach area. For me the soup was something I had been looking forward to for more than 16 years. The first time I tried to get to Marseille from Barcelona the whole country, France, shut down due to a strike against the Social Security system, if I remember correctly. So there were no toll roads or trains or buses or control towers working. So I missed my chance. But I finally made it and I will say the soup was very delicious and very interesting.
This is the soup with the muscles and fish and potato The waiter was very exciting and excited. He showed me how to eat the soup. The first thing you do is spread the cheese on top, dipped the toast in the yellow sauce and then dip the toast with the sauce in the soup, eat the toast and then enjoy the soupThis was the total for the lunch. It was well worth the adventure Some political commentary, cover of a magazine, paste it on the wall Fish market The fish market Used Book market I like the way they just colored everything. It’s very attractive This is the famous Basilica on the hill, one of the things you need to visitI like the way they curve the building to use the space available Beautiful Clearwaters People were enjoying the swimming The old Harbour Attribute to the armistice in 1918, World War I a tribute to John Kennedy This was an interesting shop which sold some very strange and interesting things of course people need to put graffiti everywhereThe graffiti is a little more organized I thought this was a museum or exhibit but there was really nothing open, just the outside and then the back area which was being set up for a concert
