old port marsielle (14)

Welcome to Marsielle!  Our last port!

We started put pretty early and Marsielle was very quiet and peaceful….something we weren’t used to.  The one thing that was astounding about driving in Italy was the traffic!  My word!!!  2 lanes become 6 lanes….stop lights are optional and there are hundreds of moped/scooters all over the place.  How else will you get anywhere and on time?  So France….not so much.

We sauntered down the lovely little streets in Aix en Provence and happened upon this outdoor market….
