Notes from one Mediterranean cruise

According to the handout that we received from Princess Cruise, Marseille is the largest port in the Mediterranean, and the second largest city in France. I found it a pleasant city and enjoyed the tram around the city. It isn’t quite as attractive as Honflur, but then it is a lot bigger and a main port instead of being merely a tourist town.

A line shops encircles Vieux port, which has a number of fishing boats. In the near distance is the Basilique Notre Dame de la Garde, on top of a neighboring hill. The hill is supposedly the highest point in the immediate area, and near the church offers a great panoramic view of the city. A tram offers an easy way to get to that church.
