Today brought a morning tour of the seaport city of Marseille, France. We’ve toured the city in the past so opted for a simple ride-around and some free time in a plaza near the Vieux Port (Old Port). We heard about the Notre Dame de la Garde and had incredible views across the Mediterranean. The plaza was fun to explore and I managed a quick trip to the Galleries Lafayette nearby to buy Alf some much-needed socks :-). A stop in a wonderful sweets store included a sample of a local style chocolate-filled biscuit and another shop was full of the local olive oil soap – so fragrant with the lavender of Provence. A simple morning but lovely.
