24 Hours of Fun...on to Marseille and
the Mediterranean Sea
Vingt-Quatre Heures de Regale
...puis à la mer et Marseille
|
Try to describe the blue of the Mediterranean...
|
A close-up of the Chateau d'If, a fortified castle on a small rock island, where
Alexandre Dumas set many of his novels, including the "Count of Monte
Cristo" and "The Man in the Iron Mask."
|
Joe, Sofia, Karen, Raphael, Salette, Pierre, Anne-Marie, and Greta...
|
|
Greta and Joe strolling along the seaside...
|
And then Gwen led us to a hidden little cove, a fishing port called
Vallon des Auffes...
|
|
...with seaside cabanons and colorful boats.
|
Every view was magnificent...
|
|
the water, a different shade of blue at every turn...
|
...the calanques (the rocky cliffs) rising above the sea...
|
|
This calls for a song..."La Mer" by Charles Trenet...
(also sung by Bobby Darin as "Somewhere Beyond the Sea")
|
LA MER
paroles: Charles
Trenet
musique: Cherles Trenet, Albert Lasry
La mer qu'on voit
danser le long des golfes clairs
A des reflets d'argent, la mer
Des reflets changeants sous la pluie
La mer au ciel d'été confond ses blancs moutons
Avec les anges si purs, la mer
Bergère d'azur infinie
Voyez près des étangs ces grands roseaux mouillés
Voyez ces oiseaux blancs et ces maisons rouillées
La mer les a bercés le long des golfes clairs
Et d'une chanson d'amour, la mer
A bercé mon coeur pour la vie
|
If you go to the sea, you must try la
Bouillabaisse...
