Friday Aug 10, Marseille

Written by Jack van Ommen on 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.

    Bonjour Roger,

    Bien sûr! Just let me know where and when. It will be a slow voyage because I figure that I will average about 60 to 75 kms per day. I am sending a mail to you and my French friends with a few more details.
    All you will need bring is a light sleeping bag or blanket/sheet or purchase it here. Avec grand plaisir de te recevoir!
