This Sunday in Marseille

Posted in Art, Event, Food, Miscellaneous, Music, News, Patrimoine, Transport on April 26, 2019| Leave a Comment »

The latest in the series of ‘Les Dimanches de la Canebiere’ takes place  on Sunday.  These events have been created to bring people back to the town centre and seem to be getting more and more popular. Lots of activities for the family too – dance, music, games, market – here’s the programme: 2019.04.17_depliant_d2k-complet

We normally park at the MuCEM parking which is really easy on a Sunday.

Remember too that the new Jean Dubuffet expo has started at MuCEM : https://aixcentric.com/2019/04/24/dubuffet-in-marseille/

and the navettes maritimes (water buses) are running: https://aixcentric.com/2019/04/24/vieux-port-navettes-maritimes-to-start-again-this-weekend/

Place Richelme is pure Provence with heaps of seasonal produce, garden flowers, honeys, bread and pots of preserves; and all surrounded by cafes whose terraces spill out into the square.  But not any more. (more…)

Exploring Bouches-du-Rhone

Posted in Patrimoine on April 20, 2019| Leave a Comment »

A few years ago, the Pass My Provence programme was launched to encourage Bouches-du-Rhone residents to familiarise themselves with all the interesting local tourist attractions, and so become ambassadors for the département.  The free card allows entrance on a two-for-one basis.

The new 84-pp brochure lists all the attractions in the scheme. Invaluable for locals, but also useful reference for anyone outside the area who wants to visit.

Here it is: catalogue-PassMyprovence
