Marseille, 2nd largest city of France and a very important Hub for commerce… Also a city that is busy prepping for this year’s Olympic where the sailing events will happen here
La Major Cathedral
Mucem (Museum of Civilizations of Europe and the Mediterranean) … The museum highlights the culture of Mediterranean….great building design and it link up with the neighboring Tour du Fanal castle and makes a perfect old and new pairing
Walk from Mucem to old port
Lunch by the vieux (old) port. I ordered the famous Marseille bouillabaisse (fresh fish soup with cod sourced from local fish market) P ordered the grilled Limande (sole 龍利）…he loved his dish so much but mine is a little too fishy
Capucine food market
Cour Julian… Street famous for graffiti that were deemed artsy
Random street scene during our after lunch stroll
Marseille is very Metropolitan and very multi cultural … A port town whose vibe reminds us of Kaoshiung in Taiwan
Btw… We saw a lot of Carrefour (家樂福）stores in Barcelona and in Marceille….all this time I thought they are a Taiwan chain…. Now I know Carrefour was founded in France and based in France
