The Villa Mediterranée, Regards de Provence Museum and Unité de L'Habitation

Today is our last day in Marseilles in this part of the holiday.  We went fairly early to the Villa Mediterranée, an amazing building on the port that I'm not sure has found its purpose in life yet. It is an impressive structure though with a section with windows in the floor.

Following this we went to the Regards de Provence museum where we saw two exhibitions, one called Lights of the South.

Our next port of call was to go and collect the hire car that we had booked so we could do some more exploring.  We got it from the Thrifty depot at the Marseilles main railway station and took the opportunity to go and visit the Unité de L'Habitation - a modernist residential tower block that contains housing, an hotel, shops, a school and roof pool.  It was one of the early tower blocks in Marseilles.

We then went and picked up our suitcases from the hotel and drove to our second booking for the holiday, La Maison de Pierre, in Vergeze.  We received a good welcome there and a pleasant dinner with our hosts Fred and Reginaldo.
