On our cruise, our next port was Marseille France. Marseille is the second most populated city in France. It was founded by the Greeks around 600 BCE. This is the city we wandered and learned the least about.
We took the shuttle the about 30 minutes from the cruise port into the city. It dropped us off near the old port. Here we took the tiny train that would take us up to Notre Dame de la Garde. From there we just wandered our way down, walking about 15 000 steps.
Enjoy our walk.

After wandering the city for hours, we sat in the old port and had a late lunch before heading back to the ship.
We did enjoy our wanders through Marseille. It was nice to do something different. Next week, we will have fun at our last port of call Genoa, Italy.
