Marseilles...

This is the Old Port (Vieux Port) from our hotel window

 The sun setting over the bay.  Shot from the roof terrace of the Fort St. Nicholas

The electric ferry which goes back and forth across the Old Port.  A lot shorter than walking it.

Construction along the Old Port.  They are creating the "world's largest pedestrian area."  Finish date: 2013, but probably not.

This the Notre Dame de la Gard church.  Despite heavy bombing in WW2, it was not damaged, despite its high visibility.

A favored place for a beer.  One afternoon, the wind was so brisk that it flipped a menu from the next table just over my beer.  Since it was a full beer, I was pleased. It was a short-lived seasonal wind called a mistral.  It comes from Algeria and is brisk.
