Trip to Marseille

Marseille is only 74 kilometers away from our holiday domicile in Mouriés. This enticed to take a trip there by car on June 1, 2014. We could take the autoroute A54 from St-Martin-de-Crau, but we save the "péage" (toll) and use the free D113 running parallel to the A54. The road leads past Salon-de-Provence and near Vitrolles we may use the A7, the "Route du Soleil". It is free until its end in Marseille. For a while with us is the Mediterranean Sea to the right of us. And before us, the sea of houses of Marseille. Now, the autoroute is finished. It migrates in the road network of the second largest city in France close to the main train station Saint Charles . We turn right into a small street in a quarter where mainly North Africans live as we can see. There we find parking between some housing blocks. (Now, we are a little anxious in the light of this fact - but without cause)
