Marseille | Summer in the Mediterranean Sea

And I believe that the feeling of a city, like meeting a person for the first time, is very important to the eye. Three hours after leaving Paris, standing outside the Marseille train station square, looking at the shimmering blue sea not far away, the dense yachts, the groups of seagulls flying from Notre Dame to Yves Island, the blue sky, and the air is clear as if it were soda water with bubbles, I think that the next few days of getting along will definitely be very good. People always say that the Seine River is Paris's good luck, while the Old Port is Marseille's blessing. As the largest seaport in the Mediterranean region, nearly 200 ships depart here every day to Corsica and other European regions. The numerous yachts and cafes and bars in the port, if viewed from the air on a summer night, are like scattered diamonds falling into the sea. Just like the Ile de la Cite in Paris, because it is too beautiful, Parisians are reluctant to waste a single second of their lives to enjoy the romantic changes of the four seasons, so all the outdoor seats of cafes on the Left Bank face the Notre-Dame de Paris, while all the outdoor seats of the taverns in Marseille's Old Port face the highest point of Marseille - Notre-Dame de la Garde. I made an appointment with a long-lost friend. He left Beijing on the day of the summer solstice music festival in France. This time we met in his country, and the wonderful feeling brought by the distance is no less magical than sitting in the old tavern in the harbor all the time, until the sunset, until the evening glow smears the white stone wall of Notre Dame like dusk.
