HBM - Finding religion

HBM - Finding religion
A steep very tiring climb up to this church with hundreds of dusty steps in this heat was probably a mistake. The benches very welcome at this half-way point. In fact, the Basilica was so crowded we never went inside. I know – a great shame! A fine view of the city was had from the top though and then we saw the easy roadway up, along the top left ridge here –our way down too. Ah well.
Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde, known to local citizens as la Bonne Mère, is a Catholic basilica in Marseille, France, and the city's best-known symbol. The site of a popular Assumption Day pilgrimage, it is the most visited site in Marseille. Its construction started in 1853 and lasted for forty years.

Enjoy full screen.

Have a great day.

A splendid building but no we did not go in to the church proper. The queues to go in were horrendous and on this hot day, the heat emanating from the inside did not entice us one bit. A fine round walk, all the same. We made it down just before the storms hit.

You were brave to climb up, the rocky outcrop upon which the basilica is built is rising to a height of 162 m.... HBM Herb.

Ah yes, but it was better not to do in the heat we had. It seemed a good idea at the start. Thank you.

That looks like quite a climb even in cooler weather conditions Herb. A good place to capture the attractive church as well as the benches surrounded by wild flowers though. A really good shot.

HBM and have lovely new week

A fine hike here. I was in reality not too bad but Eileen did not like it. A fine view as you can see. Glad you spotted the wild flowers. Glad you enjoyed it.

Vielleicht habt ihr den Pilgerpfad gewählt. Der muss beschwerlich sein. Aber der Blick hoch zur Basilika ist wundervoll.
HBM und einen guten Start in die Woche, Herb!
