Tuesday morning brought more lovely sunshine as we prepared for a quick tour of Marseille. Designated Europe’s ‘City of Culture’ 2013 I was not overly impressed as there is still a lot of building work going on. I am told that it is a typical port! We ventured down to the harbour with its stalls of freshly caught fish. Lots of boats were being cleaned and re-painted ready for the summer.
We were able to get a good view of the cathedral in the distance. Time was short so it was a quick uphill walk back to the hotel, have lunch, collect our cases and head for the station to catch the Nimes train.
Our connection to Uzes went smoothly and by 5.30 we had arrived at our destination ready for refreshment. We were not disappointed …. a bottle of red wine awaited us!
