France✅We visited Marseille today and did a 5 hour, 15 mile e-bike tour. It was nice to give our feet a break! Our first stop was the Santa Maria Major Cathedral. It had some beautiful glass decorations there were even glass cherubs and fish suspended from the ceiling. It had glass trees, fruit, and people. I loved them! We then visited Fort St. Jean, which had a great overlook of the original walls of Marseille, the two big churches, and the prison Island Chateau d'If where the Count of Monte Christo was based. Our next stop was Palais Longchamp, it was built to bring water to the city. A massive building that has museums in the two sides, a fountain in the middle, and a park in the back that used to house a zoo! Our last stop was the city center where we tried some local pastries and walked around a bit. On our way back to the boat one of the older ladies in our group got her bike wheel stuck in a train track and crashed hard! A police officer ended up driving her back to the boat, then an ambulance came and fixed her up. It was pretty bad. Once we got back on board we rested for a bit, then we went to dinner and a show. Another good day!
