Marseille

Drinks on a terrace

Old water reservoir

Old port and Notre Dame de la Garde

A little break from holiday pictures! This weekend we headed down to Marseille, a city in the south of France. As always the weather is warmer down south than in Paris. The sun was shining, and historical monuments and buildings, which are normally closed, were open for the journées du patrimoine. So walking around the old part of the town we visited an old water reservoir, city hall, and had drinks sitting outside on a terrace. There is also lots of climbing to be done in the area around Marseille, but it was way to windy and we didn't have anything with us, it will have to wait for another trip.

At the country side

This weekend was the first sunny and HOT weekend in a long time. So no reason to stay in Paris, instead we headed out on Friday night and went to a small town called Balay. On the way we ran into a really nice sunset / moonrise long the Seine in the town of Montereau-Fault-Yonne where the rivers Seine and Yonne.

Saturday and Sunday was spent swimming in a lake and climbing in the Fontainebleau forest.
