Vallon des Auffes (Marseille, France) Several small, pretty creeks just off the Corniche Kennedy along Marseille's southern coastline have miraculously kept their typical character. Fishermen's cottages and brightly coloured traditional fishing boats huddle in a setting apparently unchanged for centuries yet a stone's throw from freeways, villas and high-rise housing blocks. The whole stretch of coast sums up Marseille's capacity to blend old and new, rich and poor. The most celebrated creek is the Vallon des Auffes - the name comes from a variety of grass formerly used for making ropes and fishing nets - but there are several other lesser-known ones just nearby. The seafront is a short walk down steps from the main road and along sleepy, narrow residential back streets. There are no beaches, just rocks and a great atmosphere. In the afternoon, be sure to bring your own drinks and picnic. Thanks to alexandreehrhard for your images with title "Alfa", and this photo copyright by alexandreehrhard
