Anniversary Weekend
2 years…
I keep repeating the
words and it seems unbelievable.
Our two year anniversary was really on October 30, but because of work (well for him) we pushed it to the weekend.
SO, of course I went all out and planned a day trip to the Chateau d’if and Ile de Frioul.
Look how damn happy I am. It’s the salty ocean breeze, the sun strong on my face and…
That’s all the sentimentality you will be getting from me…
Practical info:
1) Where to catch the boat
You can catch the boat on the Vieux Port on the left hand side. It’ll be a large sign saying “Navette Chateau d’if et Ile de Frioul” The boat is about 15 euros for both islands and 10 euros for just one island. But I recommend you skip Ile d’If, unless you’re a diehard Alexandre Dumas fan. ALSO they charge you 5 euros to go on the stupid island.
On the way to Ile d’If.
Chateau d’If was…… interesting? It was a former prison now transformed into a kitschy touristy place.
The we hopped back on the boat for the Ile de Frioul.
This place was beautiful and my only regret was that we did not have enough time to thoroughly explore it.
We went hiking around and finally found a spot to watch the sunset.
We then cam back to Marseille and had dinner at a little place called Le Lauracée.
The dining area was cute, with sofas on one side of the wall.
And the ADORABLE salt and pepper “shakers” I was tempted to steal this. 
The food was decent though, nothing to be excited about…
I had this pumpkin soup topped with some dried Corsican sausages and some lovely gnocchi.
Alex had this sardine entree with some AMAZING cheese on the bottom called “le bruce”.
Then, of course, I had lamb. 
The lamb was good, but a little overcooked. How can a french chef overcook lamb???
Alex had a fish plate I forgot to take a picture of, but he was happy enough with it. But then again, he can eat anything.
So happy anniversary to us again.
