Where in the World Wednesday: Marseilles, France

Where in the World?
Marseilles, France

Today on Where in the World Wednesday, we travel to the second most populated city after Paris: Marseilles, France. Capital of the Cote de Azur and once utilized as a Greek port, I found that Marseilles had a lot to offer its tourists--lots of culture, lots of entertainment, and interesting people with gorgeous accents. Everything from artifacts from the antiquities to World War II monuments. It also has a pretty fantastic Mediterranean climate.

Anyway, I like to share some of the travel photos that I took. These photos are of the Palais de Longchamp, which is an amazing building with two wings. One wing houses the Musee des Beaux Arts and the other holds the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle. The building itself is protected by four grand lion sculptures and artistic accents about. Built in the 1860's, I thought this little French "palais" was "tres magnifique!"

Anyway. I often like to look back through my collection of photographs, and then come up with an earring design or two that reminds me of something special about my trip. So, this morning, I beaded up something quite ornate. What did I name them? But of course... MARSEILLES.
