Nature en Marseille

By the wonderful tumbling water feature in the centre of the Parc de La Campagne Pastré, a silky swaying grass has been planted alongside the bank.  The grass (possibly a Fountain Grass) is irresistible to caress and often one surprises the frogs enjoying the tranquility of the scene.

One can see the grasses running across the bottom third of the image below.  From the Parc Pastré, one can hike to the Calanques in twelve hours.  The route is variable and a map, plenty of water and sustenance is vital.

Within the wooded area of the childrens' adventure park are some beautiful crumbling tree barks, often embedded with fungi.
