Last weekend, I went to Marseille. I took the train from Paris and I arrived on Saturday morning. I had lunch with my friend Mia: my mussels were delicious! In the afternoon, I went shopping on La Canebière. Then, I enjoyed the Old Harbour. There were a lot of pretty boats, and I also visited the Museum of Soap. It was very interesting! And on Sunday, I met up with Mia and we went to the beach together.

I'll be right with you...
