In the first half of the 20th century, Marseille was the capital of shipowners.
Many companies were created and prospered around the Old Port, in particular rue de la République. Compagnie Charles Le Borgne, Paquet, CGM , Freyssinet… all of these great names in Marseille armaments have taken up residence around the Samaritaine. And all their employees frequent the brewery, ship owners, captains, but also simple employees or sailors, everyone comes and rubs shoulders with La Samaritaine.
If these large companies unfortunately almost all disappeared from Marseille in the 1960s, after the independence of Algeria, transport to Africa being almost stopped, the brewery has kept this tradition of "melting pot".
Like Marseille, La Samaritaine is a mix of nationalities and social classes, everyone comes to La Sama, which is undoubtedly also what makes its charm [tourisme-marseille.com]
Getting a bit closer to the intended shape, I've moved on to medium-sized gouges (and a V-tool). This set have blades I bought in Sri Lanka ages ago, only got around to putting handles on last year, I thought it was about time I broke them in. The steel is marvellous, really takes an edge well. The cheap hardware shop handles are pretty uncomfortable, but usable. Still using the mallet on the bigger bits.

This German company was active in Schwenningen from 1879-1998. They made a wide variety of different types of clock, including alarms, and stopped making mechanical movements in 1977.
Notre-Dame de la Garde (Our Lady of the Guard), in French for Marseille’s citizens “la bonne mère” (the good (holy) mother), is a Catholic basilica in Marseille, France, and the city's best-known symbol.
The nave's interior is 32.7 m long and 14 m wide. Each side chapel measures 3.8 m by 5.4 m. The interior is decorated with 1,200 m2 (13,000 sq ft) of mosaics as well as alternating red and white marble columns and pilasters. Espérandieu wanted a subtle red that would harmonise with the mosaics and not clash too much with the whiteness of the Carrara marble. Jules Cantini, the marble worker, discovered such a red marble with yellow and white veins in the commune of La Celle near Brignoles, Var. For parts higher up, plaster—i.e. reconstituted marble—was used.
The mosaics were created between 1886 and 1892 by the Mora company from Nimes. The tesserae came from Venice and were manufactured by craftsmen at the height of their art. Each panel comprises nearly ten thousand tesserae per square metre, which means that the basilica contains approximately 12 million small squares of 1 to 2 cm2 (0.31 sq in). The floors are covered with approximately 380 m2 (4,100 sq ft) of Roman mosaics with geometric patterns [Wikipedia.org]

Situated on a hillside above the Vieux Port, this colourful neighbourhood is the historic center and cultural heart of Marseille. Le Panier is Marseille's oldest quarter, inhabited since antiquity when the ancient Greeks settled here in 600 BC. With its steep, narrow winding streets and quaint pastel buildings, this quarter offers a glimpse into the charming personality of Marseilles.
Once a working class neighbourhood, Le Panier is now gentrified, but still has a fascinating multiethnic and artistic character. You'll find plenty of authentic Algerian cuisine, local artisan boutiques, gourmet food shops, and art galleries.
This quarter is also a residential neighbourhood, and the typical houses with shuttered window and lines of laundry provide evidence of the families who live there. Visitors may begin a walking tour on the north side of the Vieux Port harbor basin at the Quai du Port and then walk up La Canebière, a vibrant boulevard that buzzes with activity. The quarter has several important monuments such as the Hôtel de Ville (Town Hall), which was built in the second half of the 17th century based on a Genoese architectural model. Other landmarks include the Cathédrale de la Major and the Vieille Charité, which has a museum with interesting contemporary art exhibits [planetware.com]
