Way to Marseille |
Fish Market, Marseille Old Harbour |
We leave very early in the morning. So at nine o clock in
the Morning we are in Marseille. Mimamai is tremendously courageous, so we
visit the town. A video guarded tourist parking place gives the car
shelter for 2.5 Euro. We walk from the Old Harbour one hour up through the
town to the Cathedral of Notre Dame. In this impressive building on a hill
on top of the town stands Mother Mary with her new born baby Jesus on her
arm - in shimmering golden colour. The weight of the statue 9980 Kilograms,
the bulk around little Jesus arms: 110 Centimetres. |

Inside the Church proof a lot of paintings all the miracles, the Virgin Mother
Mary has saved her lovers in all kind of dangers: in storms on the sea, in
train-, cars-, horse- accidents, in sickness, in heavy birth and in fascists
war. Back on the parking place our car is still the only one. So we enjoy food,
coffee at the car before we continue the voyage.
