Having a Le Corbusier weekend in Marseille.
October 13th, 2013, 12am
It was 14°C with scattered clouds. The breeze was gentle.
Observation 1: Only at certain angles do you get the full effect of the colors amidst all that concrete. Observation 2: I’d always assumed the Unite d’Habitacion was in the suburbs, but it’s actually quite close to central Marseille, maybe a 10-15 minute bus ride from the Castellane metro.

The Marseille Cathedral was of little interest. I have little time for anything built before the 20th century.

Old school Marseille is pretty nice, too. So many ways a place can make you say, wow.

Finally made it to Marseille. Suitably impressed by all the new buildings in the European Capital of Culture 2013.
