Saturday in Marseille

We took a train from Narbonne to Marseille on Saturday morning, arriving in Marseille at 12h30.  We took a taxi to Les Goudes, a few km south of Marseille, to meet Whitney’s family at the house they rented for the week.  We walked to Callelongue to have lunch at Grotte de Callelongue.  After lunch, Corey and Toby jumped off the cliffs in the Calenque de Callelongue.  We preferred being spectators!

Papa and I took a bus back to Vieux Port in Marseille, to our hotel on the Port.  We walked around the marina at sunset and Fort Saint-Jean, a 17th century fort at the mouth of the port.  People were out walking, enjoying the long days of summer, live music, and warm night air.  The sun set at after 9 pm, with beautiful light over the marina until close to 10 pm.
