Click to See the Clean and Beautiful Old Town of Marseille
Marseille in winter is gentle and serene. The water in the Old Port is dark yet pure, spotless—so clean it hardly feels like water, but some supernatural substance. The coastal water, on the other hand, is a vivid turquoise, like huge gemstones 💎. Though the streets of Marseille are old, they’re nothing like the messy, dirty image online—they’re incredibly clean. Maybe it’s because of the off-season? The streets are quiet, with an average distance of 20 meters between people; excluding couples, it can reach 50 meters, leaving no room for pickpockets to hide 🕵️. Looking around, 99% of people are locals speaking French, which strangely feels reassuring. In the morning, the fish stalls in the Old Port open, displaying live giant octopuses, large eels with golden leopard patterns, and fish in red, yellow, and green. The boss strongly recommended the freshly caught mackerel (maquereaux) 🦑. At noon, I met an elderly French couple in a restaurant who taught me how to extract mussel meat using a mussel shell (Avec mes mains!). They wished me a good meal when they left. Speaking French in Marseille often makes people laugh, and I can’t figure out why, but it went smoothly in this restaurant. By the way, I recommend this restaurant, Caza Nova, and its €18 signature mussel and fries set. It’s among the row of restaurants next to the Old Port, at 16 Quai du Port, 13002 Marseille 🍴. The scenery was beautiful. Photos 2-5 were taken at the above coordinate point, and the others were taken along the way.
