Notre Dame

Notre Dame de la Garde, Marseille, France

On the hill top is the catholic Bascilica which watches over the city and its people. And millions of people come up each year to watch over the city as well.

Mosaics decorate the interior of the Bascilica

As well as the beautiful Bascilica, the view over the city is also magnificent.

The view over the Mediterranean is also impressive.

  1. What beautiful photos! Hubby and I went to Italy way back in 2005, visiting Time, Assisi and Florence. I would love to go back and cisit Naples where his family is from.
