Marseille - Blogabond

We went to Aix-en-Provence which is about half an hour drive from Marseille. This area of France is very dry and it rains only in January and February.

The old town of Marseille is built in the shape of a U with a huge marina in the middle with literally thousands of sailboats and motor boats.

As we left the harbor the captain took us next to the fortress made famous by Alexandre Dumas' character, the Count of Monte Cristo, who was fictional and was actually never locked up here.
