      Up as usual around 7 after a good night's sleep. Petit déj comme d'habitude then off on foot to the Parc Pharo near le vieux port. Beautiful park with a great view of the city from the top. The centre de congrés shares the park, nice building but we weren't allowed in. Lea was with us. We walked to the Abbeye Saint Victor - very ancient - dating back to the 5th siècle with additions and updates through the centuries. Lunch in a small café in Endoume (ceasar salade 10 €) then back to the corniche for a short beach (very uncomfortable little rocks) - it was too hot to stay in sun. Came back to old port, stopped at La Licorne for soaps (23€) etc. Lea went home - she had to work, so we walked to metro station, took to Rond Point Prado, then walked home. Had pizza delivered for dinner (10€) and in bed by 9:30.Read more

      First full day after a good night's sleep!
      Had a full nights sleep, up around 8 o'clock, Emilie woke (with my help) around 9:00. Out the door and we found a nice artisanal bakery for croissants and coffee. We then walked to rond point Prado, then taxi (10 €) to corner of Lea's appartment. Decided to go get the car first, took a long detour only to arrive at 12:05. First they close from noon til 2:00, but on top of it, I didn't have the obligatory passport - so - no car! With Lea, off to the Vieux Panier and lunch at the Petite Clochette -excellent food, Emilie and I split an ailoli and italien salade (17.5 €). We then walked up the Notre-Dame de la Garde (on top of the city)...beautiful. After we came down, had a beer then Lea went off to work.

    • Day 16

      Fahrt nach Marseille

      August 28, 2020 in France ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

      Wir stehen früh auf da wir noch die Wohnung auf Vordermann bringen müssen. Dann radeln wir nach Hyeres was echt angenehm ist - es ist auch gar nicht sooo heiss. Von dort steigen wir in den Zug beschließen aber früher auszusteigen und noch über die calanges nach Marseille rein zu radeln. Wir essen erst mal an der Strandpromenade zu Mittag. Dann geht es einen langen Anstieg hoch in die calanques und es ist doch ziemlich heiss man hat aber schöne Aussichten.
      Es geht bergab und dann nochmal lange hoch. Dann sieht man auf der Abfahrt irgendwann Marseille und wir fahren immer den Berg runter bis zum hotel. In der Stadt ist überall maskenpflicht. Wir gehen abends noch was essen pulposalat und lecker Fisch

      Marseille

      August 25, 2018 in France ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

      Ich bin einfach nur begeistert von dieser Stadt!
      Heute Morgen waren es mal nur 21°C, was einen definitiv besser in den Tag starten lässt, als schon beim Zähne putzen und 30°C zu schwitzen. Ich habe mich vorbereitet auf eine kleine Wanderung im Nationalpark und mich spontan dann doch erst einmal für die Stadt entschieden. So cool: gleichzeitig modern und alt, touristisch und einfach authentisch französisch 🇫🇷
      Ich bin auch schon wieder angesprochen worden. Die Menschen sind so nett. Scheinbar falle ich auf. Was ich bisher gehört habe: blond, groß, offen, anders als anderr Deutsche, maritim (ich hatte ein blau-weißes Shirt an und eine rote Tasche dabei) ⛵
      Mein Frühstück war auch super, weil es einfach total gute (Bio)Supermärkte und Händler gibt. Französische Feigen 😍
      Die meiste Zeit des Tages habe ich in Les Calanques, dem Nationalpark, verbracht. Worte und Bilder können nicht wiedergeben, wie schön es dort war. Letztendlich habe ich doch zu wenig Zeit dort verbracht, weil ich noch mehr von der Stadt sehen wollte. Also bin ich zur Top-Touri-Attraktion "Notre Damme" gegangen und es hat sich sehr gelohnt. Die Aussicht über die Stadt war der Wahnsinn und ich hatte Glück, dass sogar eine Messe abgehalten wurde.
      Am Abend saß ich auf warmen Felsen am Wasser und habe Brot, Wassermelone, Weintrauben, Brot, Käse, Krabben und Wein genossen. Nachdem ich morgens Fischstände am Wasser gesehen habe, hat sich diese Idee den Tag über so entwickelt :)
      Anschließend gab es noch Eis am alten Hafen und Straßenmusik 🍦🎶

Very interesting, saw the island where St-Exupéry was shot down by a German. Beer in the port after then a walk to Castelame where we took a taxi (8.5€) -walked the last little bit and stopped for beer and water at the local Casino Supermarché. Quick beer then dinner at O'brady's Pub - burger and beer (18€)...home early!
