823. Marching through Marseille
A “travelin’ light” in the Vieux Port area to represent this historic old city of southern France

This was also a stamp leftover from a previous trip, where we got “sidetracked” to Monaco because of bad weather. This time, however, even in the rain, we walked the green line from the cruise port about 5 minutes to the shuttle bus stop and took the navette about 5 miles east into the Joliette part of the city. Continuing east got us to the grand new museum (MUCEM) with its pedestrian bridge on the east side heading over to Fort St. Jean. (free to access from inside MUCEM, where you only pay for exhibits that you actually go into.) Once on the east side of the bridge, turn left and go past two wooden benches to the far corner of the raised garden on your right. Take one step back and look almost to ground level in the stone wall to where we left a small gray stone with France on back, sitting in a low crevice on a similar gray stone that forms the bottom part of the wall.
