    I remember being in that beautiful city 6 years ago... saw old french people with baguettes & cabbage climbing up and down, crazy fit!

    What a great vlog! I never knew Marseille was so interesting. And the views from Notre Dame de la Garde -well worth those steps! So glad you’re getting better mate but continue to take it one step at a time. Slow and steady wins the race. Look after yourself Jay! Thanks again for for a lovely video.

    • @JaySwanson

    I was in Marseille twice in 2019 and was wonderfully surprised each time. However, the mistral about blew me over into the abyss at Notre Dame de la Guarde!

    • @JaySwanson
      @JaySwanson  3 года назад

      Haha, glad you didn't end up blown away!

  • @Writerdane
    @Writerdane 3 года назад +5

    I miss this city. When I was there, the Euro Cup was happening and the port was full of areas designated for this event. I literally spent two days walking about and I wished I had more time to explore. Anyway, any reason to return. I love the neutral tones and the roughness of the city despite it being cleaned up recently at the time as a European Capital of Culture. That Museum of European Civilization is worth the admission. Jay, I am glad your return to youtube brought this about.

  • @erikat5678

    Update: just noticed this is from a trip in July! But most of this is still relevant: Is this my favorite of your videos?! Might be! I am truly glad that you’re back at it so hopefully means you’re feeling more rested with burn out at bay and Covid in your past. and I’ve never been to Marseille and with my love of big bodies of water I will now visit when next in France. Thank you! I really enjoyed the music also.

    • @JaySwanson
      @JaySwanson  3 года назад

      Thanks Karen! I'll definitely be coming back slowly from here - still not up to snuff yet but looking forward to putting out the videos I shot over the end of the summer and then getting into some new stuff from there =)

    Always happy to see a happy Jay. Could this be a new focus for your vlogging life? Oh, once you get your permis de conduire I can see you 2CV-ing away from Paris for the sights, sounds and scents of France. Continue to heal, please, and take your time; you do add a lot to a lot of lives.

    • @JaySwanson
      @JaySwanson  3 года назад +4

    Greetings from California. Good to see you back at it! My wife and I have been binge watching your Vlog from the start - just into season 3. I jumped ahead to a more recent. We will be in Paris on 18/10 and I wanted to see what mask protocol is in France. Best to you! I will say you continue to make your grandmother proud by showing beautiful places and beautiful women, It's nice you do that for her! Cheers.

    @Fidoville 3 года назад

    I have not been to Marseille yet but watching your video makes me want to go. The area you focused on looked great. Your hike and wobbly legs reminded me of the time I climbed the hill to visit the San Luca basilica church in Bologna, and when I went to the top of Mont Real in Montreal, boy were my legs like jelly when I came back down. There have been other times climbing up ancient towers or light houses on narrow stairs, same effect. But the experiences are great memories, right? I hope you are fully recovered very soon!

    @pathallam986 3 года назад +2

    Was in Marseille at the end of August so this was a nice return visit for me, thank you. Did you know (or for anyone thinking of visiting in the future) there is a bus straight up to Notre Dame de la Garde? Leaves from the Vieux Port. Much easier than hiking tho perhaps not as much fun. MUCEM (Mediterranean Civilisations) was a disappointment and yes, very confusing to walk round, but the Fort of St Jean next door made up for it. Will definitely go back again.

    • @JaySwanson

    Thanks Jay! I was intrigued by the horizontal organ pipes. I don't believe I've ever seen that before, so I looked it up. Apparently they produce a loud trumpet-like tone - en chamade.
    Hope you're recovering well from the run.😎
