I’ve been in Marseille now for two days, and I’ll be heading off to Paris this afternoon/evening – Paris should be a real blast, especially for bringing in the New Year!
I’ve put in a request for a room at Grand Hôtel Lévêque, which is located right off of the historic Rue Cler – it’s another that comes highly recommended by Rick Steves’ books and travelers all around. Hopefully I get a room there – their website indicated “limited” availability up until the 1st, so we’ll see.
Hostels have been horribly booked for all the cities I’ve been in so far, mostly 1-2 weeks in advance. But I’ve been finding inexpensive hotels that have been working out just fine (I don’t really want to spend too much on lodging, since all I do is sleep there, it’d seem silly to.)
Well, I’ve got a bit more of Marseille to see (and more to eat!) and then I’ll be off to Paris on a TGV train, at an average of 160mph – I’m looking forward to that!
Au revoir!
Marseille Coast - Look at that water!
I’ve added a link to the map for Marseille photos too – it’s at the bottom of the page under the “Links” section – I haven’t uploaded many photos yet, though – but enjoy anyways!
