Today I found a park right in downtown Marseille overlooking the Mediterranean. This is a shot of the entrance to the port with the white cliffed islands, some with old forts.

It is a park typical of Marseille, some trash around, broken benches, half of them facing a bush, really dense undergrowth that has not been tended to in months, perfect for someone to be hiding in (but that never happens). And then this, a pristine view of the Mediterranean that some people would pay millions for? I also found the bus to get me straight from my apartment to the park, score two for the Enlish speaking guy in Marseille.
