Friday Aug 10, Marseille

Friday, August 10th, 2012

I went for a long walk. This is an amazing city. Tomorrow more. The one place I spent some time, above the harbor, is the abbey of St. Victor. It’s origins date back to the 4th century. An incredible structure and history.

Just above it is the oldest bakery in Marseille from 1785, but then in comparison the Mastmaker’s business of my mother’s family started in 1804 and is also still in the 6th generation of my cousin.
