Introduction:


Hi my dear friends i think as we all get old we always feel some guilt beceause there is some dreams we didn't acheive but in my case i decided to live my life as there is no tomorrow, i will live a life i will remember and smile while telling my experience to my grand-children. And for me, life is traveling.
So without further ado i will start telling you about my trip to Marseille ( France baby 🥰🥰 ).

♥️ How did I start my day  ?


As the sweet breeze of the city awakened me . I ditched the alarm and headed to the heart of Marseille, the "Vieux Port". As the first rays of sun kissed the water, i watched the fishing boats bob gently, i inhaled the salty air ( bellieve me i felt like i was reborn ) and from far away i saw the timeless beauty of Notre-Dame de la Garde, perched majestically on the hilltop.


My stomach started rumbling so i went to a local bakery named Le Four des Navettes near the port which is a true gem for me. I grabbed a buttery croissant and a steaming café au laitand I savored my breakfast while people -watching and planning my day's adventures.



♥️ My afternoon's adventure:


I started my journey where Marseille began – the ancient district of Le Panier. I wandered through labyrinthine streets lined with colorful houses, i soaked in the aroma of fresh fish wafting from tiny restaurants, i felt hungry so i rewarded myself with a Leisurely lunch at La Graineterie, where plates burst with the bounty of the sea – plump mussels, garlicky clams, and grilled sardines, all begging to be paired with crusty bread and a chilled glass of local rosé.

After enjoying my meal i wanted to escape thé hustle and bustle of the city ( to be honest it was a local's advice and i liked the idea ) so i took a ferry to the Friul Archipelago. This group of islands, located off the coast of Marseille Can make you feel like you are in paradise. I explored the hidden coves and turquoise waters at Ratonneau and Pomègues, i snorkeled among schools of colorful fish, and i enjoyed lounging on sun-warmed rocks ( a small tip for you :Fill a picnic basket with local pastries and cheeses, bellieve me you will need it)


As the afternoon sun dips lower, i returned to the mainland and i delved into the vibrant bohemian haven of Le Cours Julien. This district which explodes with street art, the independent boutiques, and eclectic cafes. I browsed through vintage treasures, later i ordered a coffee which i sipped it on a sun-drenched terrace, and i soaked in the creative energy that pulses through the narrow streets ( Tip: Don't miss the Wall of Wonders, a kaleidoscope of street art, and immerse yourself in the city's artistic spirit).


♥️ When night come:


As my adventure come to an end and the day faded into dusk, i descended to the vibrant Vieux-Port and La Joliette where i dived into the bustling waterfront energy, with fishermen mending their nets, boats swaying gently, and the air buzzing with conversation and laughter. I ordered a seafood feast at a traditional Provençal restaurant ( Tip : a sip of artisanal cocktails on a trendy rooftop bar can add a special flavor ), and i lost myself in the infectious rhythm of live music spilling from every corner. I let the magic of Marseille's nightlife carry me away, i dance under the starlit sky, and i knew that these memories will linger long after my afternoon adventure ends.
 
♥️ Finally there is something my dear friends that i wanted to tell it to you, i wanted you to know i tried my best to let you feel what i felt in Marseille but i know that it is not enough, that warm feeling of love and belonging and its lovely people it can't be described by any word.


All i can do is to invite you to travel and try it on your own, don't delay any longer do it tomorrow, we live one life so let us make it worth.


With my full gratitude to your visit
 

Your Friend Henry
