Inspired by paintings of the Riviera, I am considering visiting Marseilles. Here are my notes and links …<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Notes and links<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Fly from Gatwick by Easyjet and LHR via other airlines, or<\/li>\n\n\n\n

    Not a serious look yet, but I have found these, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Escale Oceania Marseille<\/a> cheap, with expensive breakfasts and a small room or<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Hotel Carre vieux port<\/a>, bigger room, claims a bar and lounge<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. The Rocky Pop Hotel<\/a>, an even bigger room, a bar and restaurant<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Or Tripadvisor’s list<\/a>, <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      6. And advice for DIY,wine bars crawls, via the tourist office<\/a> or trip advisor<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        My inspiration<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        Dufy’s painting, of the https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baie_des_Anges<\/a>, is presumably between Cape D’Antibes and Nice. I made a note about Dufy’s painting<\/a>, but do we know where he painted from. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t
