The weather is promising today as well. I am not going to waste any minute without discovery more of the city!
The first discovery was a grand, monumental staircase that connects Marseille’s main train station (Gare Saint-Charles) to the city below. Built in the early 20th century, it’s known for its impressive sculptures, wide stone steps, and panoramic views over the city.
Second landmark was the massive, decorative fountain at the center of the Palais Longchamp, celebrating the arrival of water to Marseille via the Durance canal in the 19th century.
On the left wing of the monument is located a fine art museum, which I also decided to visit. Maybe next time I will visit natural history museum, which is located on the right wing.
Another jewel of Marseille is Notre-Dame de la Garde, which sits atop a limestone hill about 150 meters above sea level. The hill offers spectacular panoramic views of Marseille, the port and the surrounding coastline
After such a long walking I deserved some treatment...
Cheese and baguette must be traditional food here. Of course, it is France!
It was a very busy day, with lots of positive surprises, because without any expectations I saw so many beautiful landmarks and views here!
