View from our Hotel room in Marseilles
Our 2012 trip to France was coming to an end. After a week in Paris and 5 days each in the French Alps and in historical Provence, we had only a few days left and decided to spend them in Marseille. It was not a spontaneous decision; we had booked a flight out of Marseilles to return to Canada and had made plans to drop our rented car at this airport.
From Avignon it was about an hour's drive to Marseilles airport where we dropped the car, then continued by cab to the city. We wanted to be as close as possible to the Old Port (Le vieux port) which is the picturesque center of Marseilles. We picked a hotel right on the waterfront, La Résidence du Vieux Port and a room facing the harbour. I think that we had the best location in town, at least for the view!
