Marseille
After visting three Italian ports on the cruise (not including our start in Venice), it was time to move on to France. We docked in Marseille and spent an afternoon in the old part of town. Marseille is the second largest city in France, with a population of 1.5 million... so the city is huge. We just hit a small part.
The picture of me and Hunter was taken at the Vieux Port ("Old Port") in the center of the old city / tourist district. Behind us is the port and you can also see the church Notre Dame de la Garde on top of the hill. As you can see from our hairdos, it was quite windy that day; our guide said that was normal for Marseille.
I'm not much of a francophile, so Marseille was kind of so-so for me. The best part about the port call was drinking my first Guiness in six months.
