Ancient Hospital Becomes Five-Star Hotel in Marseille
In line with the boats, both large and small, docked in the Old Port are rows of blue lights offering a variation of the sea below. I’m sipping on a cafe au lait at Le Bar de la Marine on the Quai de Rive Neuve. My gaze follows the line of little blue spots, runs across the port and remains fixed on an illuminating palace: Hotel Dieu.
