A chilly and blustery Mistral at the beach (just 9°C) so I headed inland and up the rock for a bit of altitude to warm the legs up. Marseille is at heart an agglomeration of Provençal hill villages which are revealed with a bit of exploration. Today I visited le Roucas Blanc, Bompard, and came down through Périer. The cathedral is Notre-Dame de la Garde, which dominates Marseille and its bay.
Then a Sunday treat from the patisserie: ask for an Opéra.
