Basilica of Notre-Dame of la Garde

The Cathedral of the Virgin Mary is a symbol of Marseille, built on a hill 150 meters high, where it overlooks the city of Marseille, the port of Marseille and the Mediterranean.

Looking far away at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Garde, the gray-white marble building, the gorgeous new Byzantine church, will definitely attract you there. Inside the church, the red-white marble and the magnificent frescoes look extraordinarily gorgeous.

From all angles of Marseille, the golden addition of the Virgin and Son at the top of the temple can be clearly seen. This image of the Virgin and Son, which is also the protection of sailors, fishermen and all Marseilles people, is also visible. Recommended reason: Under the Temple of the Virgin Mary, there is a viewing platform, which overlooks the entire Marseille and Marseille port, and visits the sea. You can also see the prototype of the prison in Count of Monte Cristo: Fort Eve. The viewing platform is especially suitable for watching the sunset. The sunset is late in the summer, you can come early, first enjoy the interior of the temple, otherwise you can't enter the door at 6 o'clock.

The Cathedral of the Virgin Mary is a symbol of Marseille, built on a hill 150 meters high, from which you can overlook the city of Marseille and the Mediterranean. From the old port of Marseille you can see the Cathedral of the Virgin of the Garde, which stands on the high ground, while from the church you can overlook the panoramic view of Marseille and the island of Ives. The exterior and interior of the church are very spectacular and beautiful. There is a gold-plated statue of the Virgin Mary of up to9.7 meters above the main building of the cathedral. It is said that this glittering statue can be seen almost at any angle in Marseille. The cathedral is an attraction that cannot be ignored in Marseille.

圣母嘉德大教堂 几乎是马赛的象征 因圣母金象而闻名 在马赛 几乎每一个角落都能看到教堂 参观了那么多的教堂 他虽然不大但也算是比较有特点的 他没有英国教堂那种阴沉而庄重的青色 反而多了砖红色加以点缀 使教堂多了人的气息 少了神高高在上的压迫感 室内颜色 清新明快 圣母像伫立当中 温柔而庄重 ​

到了法国的第三天开始，我们便赶上了欧洲500年来的最狠热浪，每天的气温高达36度。偏偏这个时候我们乘坐的旅游大巴出现了故障，空调没有了冷气，这让关在没有能开启车窗的大巴车成了闷罐车，游客纷纷抗议受不了，要求导游换车，但在偏僻的普罗旺斯山区无论如何也解决不了，导游安慰大家，到了马赛再去修车。6月29号晚终于到了法国的第二大城市马赛。入住一家条件不错的假日酒店。这是一座公寓式酒店，里面有电磁炉和各种炊具，还有一台类似热水器的小锅炉。第二天，司机去修车，导游带着大家逛了事先没有行程安排的马赛。马赛是座有着2500年历史的古城，是法国的第二大城市和最大海港，就像我国的沿海城市。该市三面被石灰岩山丘所环抱，景色秀丽，气候宜人。马赛东南濒临地中海，水深港阔，无急流险滩，万吨级轮可畅通无阻；西部有罗纳河及平坦河谷与北欧联系，地理位置得天独厚。法国国歌马赛曲就诞生于此地。大教堂主体建筑上方有一座金色的高达9.7米的镀金圣母像，据说，几乎在马赛的任何角度都可看到这尊闪闪发光的圣母像，大教堂也因此成为马赛的标志。从教堂的大门进入，首先是僧侣的宿舍，里面约有30名僧侣。这些僧侣终身都在此修行，每天凌晨2点即展开第一次的祈祷，下午又回到宿舍进行晚祷。从东边的阶梯走下去，进入教堂内，里面有许多祈祷航海平安的模型船，墙壁上还留存着第二次世界大战时期，德军与联军交火的枪弹痕迹。
