Just got in from Marseille...

Marseille is the second largest city in France, and it is one of the largest commercial seaports in Europe.

Here are a few of my photos from my excursion today ...

A monument to World War II greets the sea in Marseille.  An invasion also occurred to liberate Southern France.

The entry to the Basilica of Notre Dame de Gard.   I climbed all of those steps to get to the church.

The view from the church atop the hill in Marseille.

One more view from the church.

The streets of Marseille ... You can see the church in the background.

The streets of Marseille look so much like Paris.
