Passage Galerie Vivienne in the heart of Paris

The photo shows France, which I visited for the first time in about two years.

On my four previous visits to France, I have only visited Paris and its surrounding cities.

This time, I decided to travel to Marseille in the south of France.

After arriving at CDG International Airport, we boarded the TGV directly and headed south.

We arrived in Marseille in about three and a half hours.

The cityscape and atmosphere are quite different from Paris.

I was also able to see the Unité d'Habitation, designed by Le Corbusier, which I had longed to see.

It was a short stay, but I'm glad I was able to visit.

We took the TGV north from Marseille to Paris and met our passengers for the first time.

During my stay in Paris, I took the time to walk around the city.

I was surprised to see that the development in the city center had completely changed the area.

Next time I'd like to travel around the South of France.

Avignon, Cannes, Nice, Monaco.

Thank you very much for your support this year.

Thank you for your continued support next year.

I hope the coming year will be a wonderful one for you all.

Happy New Year.
