La Ciotat, Le Quai

The market, La Ciotat

Winter dawn over Marseille

Ride out to La Ciotat, the small-scale Mediterranean port between Toulon and Marseille. My ride and then walk around the town’s modest Provencal market on the quayside in the winter sunshine was a minor delight before setting off for the plane back to the grey winter gloom of London. My bike stays garaged in Marseille for the winter, nearly empty of fuel as the Gilets jaunes protests continue.
