marseille, france
Our stop in Marseille, France was meh, mainly because the cruise shuttle bus dropped us off in the middle of nowhere with a complimentary map that didn't include half of the city {seriously, it was chopped off} or the street names, for that matter. We're usually calm travelers but when we have a tight schedule, a useless map, and the iPhone isn't working, panic sets in. Unfortunately, we ended up wandering aimlessly down a few streets for far too long and missed out on quite a few of the sites. We did end up finding the Basilique Notre Dame de la Garde somehow {it overlooked the entire city} -- and we saw a black lab carrying a baguette down the street. However, most of our time was spent at a street cafe drinking Hoegaarden, because that's what we do when we're lost.
I'd love to go back, stuff myself with French food, and see the rest of the city. And ride the merry-go-round?

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I have always wanted to travel. But, it will have to wait until we are done with the kiddos!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog...I'm looking forward to following yours!
Gorgeous photos, girl! We've yet to go there...but we've done a few things in France. Hoping to see more of France on our cruise next year, but I think our boat stops in Toulon, not Marseille. Ohhh well. :)
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing when I'm lost. Like the beer will give me new magic orientating skills :)
ReplyDeleteI am DYING. These photos are gorgeous. And I'm a tad bit jealous.

ReplyDeleteHi Rachel! I'm a new follower from the GFC blog hop!
ReplyDeleteI just love your pictures from France! These are stunning! And I figure, if you're going to be lost, sharing a beer in a cafe in France with your husband is a great way to spend that time. :o) I hope you get to go back again and experience it the way you wanted to, though!
Hi Rachel, wow what a gorgeous blog and fabulous pictures. I need to thank you again for coming by my blog or I might never of sound yours.

France has got to be one of my most favorite places I've traveled. Their architecture, scenery, food, museums, shopping and love for the female contoured body, amazing. Your pictures are unbelievable and breathtaking. I especially love the merry-go-round for its vibrant colors. Looking forward to more photo's.

Marseille was a stop on our Mediterranean Cruise and we felt the SAME way about the city. It was COMPLETELY different from any other city in France that we visited. BUT, the Basilique Notre Dame de la Garde was beautiful. Overlooking the entire city....it was breathtaking. All of these photos really capture that!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is has some of the best photography I've seen in a while-love your style! look forward to following from the GFC blog hop!
