Il 40% del pesce mangiato in Francia é pesce d'allevamento. Quando andrete a Marsiglia, non perdetevi il tradizionale mercato del pesce che si tiene ogni giorno al Vecchio Porto (le Vieux Port), sulla banchina belga (Quais des Belges). Il vecchio mercato del pesce é diventato il National Theater della città. Ogni giorno il mercato del pesce ha luogo. I pescatori vendono il loro pesce. Si svegliano presto, prendono (o meno) il pesce dalle loro reti, e tornano alla baia. Fresco, pesce fresco! "Il est frais non poisson!" urla il pescatore.

Arles is an ancient city in the south of France, in the Bouches-du-Rhône county. Arles was established by the Greeks as early as the 6th century BC. The Romans took the town in 123 BC and expanded it into an important city, with a canal link to the Mediterranean Sea being constructed in 104 BC. However, it struggled to escape the shadow of Massalia (Marseille) further along the coast.

Aigues Mortes, a 6000 souls village in the Camargue region in South France, well known for Horse breeding. Personally I´m through with breeding horses, so I didn´t pay a visit to the stables and went straight to the village directly.
A good decision!

The Mediterranean Sea is gorgeous - it has got the crossed water (not blue, not green - the "between" of both, like in doubles). So why not to discover it (the Sea) from the middle of it, ah? Well, you need to be a really good swimmer, or... need some luck to get to Marseille. The city itself is also so interesting, that you can even forget the plans of taking a trip with the boat in the Mediterranean Sea, so be calm and go straight ahead till you reach the old port, which is called Vieux-Port de Marseille.

Aigues Mortes, ein 6000 Seelen Örtchen in der Camargue, die ja gemeinhin für ihre Pferdezucht bekannt ist. Da ich aber eh die Wendy - Hefte im Abo habe, konnte ich mir den Besuch der Ställe sparen und gleich in die Stadt vordringen.
Eine gute Entscheidung!
