The city has a spicy character and resolutely independent nature that defies easy definition. Discover a richly substantial and exciting destination utterly different from anything else Provence has to offer. The people of Marseille have long been the most multicultural and ethnically diverse in France, and they are collectively known for their infectious joie de vivre. A Group transfer is provided from the Marseille airport to the hotel. Marseille will be your home for the next 2 nights. Lodging Hotel Marseille Bonneveine Prado Although the metropolis is sprawled over a substantial area the tourist heart of the city can be covered within a day, including time for a dip in the ocean. Marseille demands a sensory engagement from its visitors; take in the view from Notre Dame Basilica, breathe in the smells of the ocean at the Vieux Port fish market and tune into the animated conversation of local people. This evening, meet your fellow passengers for a casual Welcome Drink. 2 Pascale Le Jeune DS, LS, NCS INDEPENDENT ASSOCIATE CERTIFIED ADVENTURE AND LUXURY TRAVEL COUNSELOR 704- 228th Ave NE #632 • Sammamish, WA 98074 425.503.0389 • [email protected] • www.ExperienceActiveTravel.com Day 3 – Thursday, May 21st 2015 Marseille Breakfast at the hotel (included) Day at leisure with Joy Abbey and Virginie Blackmoor to explore the city. Old Marseille and "Panier" district offers 26 centuries of history. From the Hôtel de Ville to the Vieille Charité, a walk throughout the Panier district, the oldest quarter in France : Hôtel Dieu, Maison Diamantée, Saint Laurent church & Docks Romains Museum. Notre-Dame de la Garde is a fortress as well as a sanctuary and an irreplaceable landmark, to local religious devotion. The mosaics were restored in 2008. The abbey of Saint-Victor : A wonderful example of a church that was formerly built in the 5th century and then fortified in the 14th century. The petit train is also a fun toy-town choo-choo painted in the Marseille livery of blue and white that leaves from the Old Port and plies two routes: up to Notre Dame de la Garde and through the Panier (Old Town), along whose steep and narrow streets it offers by far the best mode of transport. The train to the Old Town runs every 30 minutes. Lunch on your own Marseille's most famous culinary creation is the bouillabaisse, a stew of local fish flavored with tomatoes, saffron and olive oil, and customarily served with a proud flourish. Two establishments, Caruso and Le Miramar are located on Quai du Port amidst a coterie of seafood restaurants. Another true specialty of Marseille are "navettes", a distinctive boat shaped biscuit flavored with orange blossom and available only at Four des Navettes, where the recipe has been jealously guarded since 1781. Having tasted these fragrant and curiously stodgy biscuits, you may hope that the recipe remains safe forever. They are certainly an acquired taste.

Please have your luggage ready at the reception before or by 12 noon. Early in the afternoon we depart by coach and travel to Saint- Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume. We’ll drop off our luggage at the hotel located at the foot of the famous Sainte-Marie-Madeleine Basilica. Set in a former coaching inn, the hotel features a gourmet-style restaurant and an elegant terrace. You can enjoy city view from all the rooms. After the check-in, proceed by coach with your guide to the Grotte de la Sainte-Baume for the visit of the sanctuary (you will reach the site after a walk of about 45 minutes/ 1 hour. Sainte-Baume is primarily a geological curiosity with its rocky ledge, which stretches over 12 km. The natural cave carved by erosion (Baumo in Provençal) became one of the oldest places of pilgrimage in the Christian world. In the Gospels, Mary Magdalene preached in Marseille together with Lazare, then settled in the rugged mountains. There she could indulge in prayer and contemplation in solitude.

The city is often referred to as the city of a thousand fountains. Among the most notable are the 17th-century Fontaine des Quatre Dauphins in the Quartier Mazarin, designed by Jean-Claude Rambot. Explore unique sites such as the Cours Mirabeau, a wide thoroughfare, planted with double rows of plane-trees, bordered by fine houses and decorated by fountains, and follows the line of the old city wall. It divides the town into two sections. Te old town, with its narrow, irregular streets and its old mansions dating from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, hosts the most famous brasserie in Aix called Les Deux Garçons. Built in 1792, it has been frequented by the likes of Paul Cézanne, Émile Zola and Ernest Hemingway. The Cathedral of the Holy Saviour (Aix Cathedral) was built on the site of a former Roman forum and an adjacent basilica, it contains a mixture of all styles from the 5th to the 17th century, including a richly decorated portal in the Gothic style with doors elaborately carved in walnut. The interior contains 16th-century tapestries, a 15th-century triptych, depicting King René and his wife on the side panels, as well as a Merovingian baptistery, its Renaissance dome supported by original Roman columns. The Hôtel de Ville, a building in the classical style of the middle of the 17th century, looks onto a picturesque square. It contains some fine woodwork and tapestries. At its side rises a handsome clock- tower erected in 1510.Also on the Place de l'Hôtel de Ville is the former Corn Exchange (1759–1761) (Halle de Grains). This ornately decorated 18th-century building was designed by the Vallon brothers. Nearby are the remarkable thermal springs, containing lime and carbonic acid, that first drew the Romans to Aix and gave it the name Aquae Sextiae. A spa was built in 1705 near the remains of the ancient Roman baths of Sextius. This afternoon at leisure you may be interested in visiting on of these sites on your own. - Le Musée de Tapisseries (Tapestry Museum), housed in the Archbishop's Palace and with a collection of tapestries and furniture from the 17th and 18th centuries. - Le Pavillon de Vendôme, a 17th-century mansion housing permanent and touring art exhibitions. - L'atelier Cézanne, a museum on the northern outskirts of Aix, constructed around the studio of Paul Cézanne, which can be viewed as it was at the painter's death.

The ramparts stretch for a distance of 1650 meters. Spectacular in their height and their state of preservation even though they were not restored in the 19th century, as was Carcassonne for example, they remain in a well preserved state. Along with the Tower of Constance, they are a testimony to Western European military architecture in the marshlands during the 13th and 14th centuries. Breeding of Bulls and of Camargue horses are what make this area famous. These animals are raised almost wild in the surrounding marshes. The Camargue bull is smaller than the Spanish fighting bulls, stocky, with high horns and head. The Camargue horse is the ultimate companion for herdsmen to move into the marshes and herd bulls. The Camargue horse is not very large, about 1.50 m tall. It has a huge resistance adapted to the terrain.

  • Murder in Aubagne: Lynching, Law, and Justice During the French
    This page intentionally left blank Murder in Aubagne Lynching, Law, and Justice during the French Revolution This is a study of factions, lynching, murder, terror, and counterterror during the French Revolution. It examines factionalism in small towns like Aubagne near Marseille, and how this produced the murders and prison massacres of 1795–1798. Another major theme is the conver- gence of lynching from below with official terror from above. Although the Terror may have been designed to solve a national emergency in the spring of 1793, in southern France it permitted one faction to con- tinue a struggle against its enemies, a struggle that had begun earlier over local issues like taxation and governance. This study uses the tech- niques of microhistory to tell the story of the small town of Aubagne. It then extends the scope to places nearby like Marseille, Arles, and Aix-en-Provence. Along the way, it illuminates familiar topics like the activity of clubs and revolutionary tribunals and then explores largely unexamined areas like lynching, the sociology of factions, the emer- gence of theories of violent fraternal democracy, and the nature of the White Terror.

  • THE TAPESTRIES from CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL. 69 Ornaments
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ( 67 ) THE TAPESTRIES EROM CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL. BY AYMER VALLANCE. IN the loan Exhibition of French Art, held at Burhngton House, London, in the opening months of 1932, were included two tapestries, numbered in the catalogue 27 and 32 respec- tively, which should be of peculiar interest to Kentish folk, inasmuch as they once formed part of the furniture of Canterbury Cathedral. They were lent for exhibition by the Cathedral of Aix in Provence, to which they now belong, and of which they decorate the quire and south aisle. The particular pieces exhibited in London form part of a series depicting the Life of our Lord. The material is mainly wool, with the occasional introduction of silk, to give variety of texture, and to heighten the effect in places here and there. The technique of the process is that known as haute lisse, which means that the tapestry is hand-woven in an upright loom, the weaver being stationed at the back, and seeing the face of the web, so long as it is in progress, only by reflection in a mirror through the vertical threads of the warp. Such is the method invariably employed for tapestries of any size. For smaUer pieces, in contradistinction to the haute lisse, the alternative process of basse lisse is used. When employing this method the weaver sits, as at an embroidery frame, and looks down on to the face of the web, stretched out horizontaUy.
