Joan d'Arc




Ultra modern cathedral 

Inside Notre Dame 
We look forward to 5 floors of Mucem on Sunday
Harbour views from the fort

Mucem in foreground, Nore Dame cathedral in the back ground 
Very cool walls and bridges 
Beautiful harbour
10 min walk towards the  Mucem ( museum of European and Mediterranean culture ) which we plan to visit on Sunday. One of 30 museums in France's second city .












The Mexican art was mind blowing ...
This Oceanic figurine from Vanatu ( formerly the New Hebrides!) is from the Malakala nation in Polynesia. Her job is to question spirits regarding their intentions. 




We found this museum by accident  Centre de La Vielle Charitee  with free exhibitions of Amerindian Mexican Oceanic and African art 



Citron and menthe juice -a delicious combo. I had avocado on toast,Andy a veggie burger.










Wandering around the old town called Le Pannier  (the basket) filled with street art and occasional mosaics. Lunch in a square with ambient music playing . Capoeira trio performing athletic moves on the main streets ( La Canabiere is the main thorough fare) 
Harbour view in the Old Port
Town hall 
Andy photographs carousels. I love them .
Comfy coach to Marseille from campsite , 5€ and coffee before the adventure begins ...
