Yup, that's the plan. Marseille is #2 on the list of the 46 top destinations around the world, according to a feature in the NY Times. The text, by Ondine Cohane, gushes, "A vibrant ethnic melting pot, Marseille is also home to an increasing number of contemporary art and avant-garde performances." Right, and one of Europe's two "Capitals of Culture" for 2013.
We took that photo six months ago, on a tour of the Marseille harbor. That's the Cathedral on the left, and, under the crane, the J1 "hangar," a new performance hall. Looks like they finished it in time. More information on all the events in Marseille here: http://www.mp2013.fr/
Locally, the Times travel gurus recommend the White Salmon River, now flowing freely.
