A Day in Marseille
Marseille, France Tuesday September 27th 2011

Marseille, France
We’ve not long been home from a busy day in Marseille. This time we did manage to get further than the railway station.
We headed down to the old port and quickly came across the Miramar restaurant that serves the best bouillabaisse according to my little book about Provence at home. We’d checked its website before we left to be horrified that for the privilege it’d cost $100 per person. So only a photo!
However, we did find the Marsellais where as a lunch option, I was able to have it at a more reasonable cost – and it was amazing!!! Super yum.
The port was an interesting place with the usual tourist tours being offered alongside the locals buying their fish. There are no modern high rise building blotting the landscape.
We did lots of shopping, enjoying the lovely small shops and the larger department stores.
It was a lovely sunny day and we really enjoyed the city.
A quiet night at home, tonight. We have some Marcel Pagnol DVDs here, but we are far too tired to cope with translating tonight. We’d been quite excited when we saw that they had subtitles – but in French!!
Cheers.
