Hi everyone.

I hope you're well.

Welcome to this vlog video.

Today is July 13.

Tomorrow is the fourteenth, the French national holiday, so it's a public holiday in France.

I'm very happy because tomorrow I'm leaving for Marseille for four days, with three girlfriends. Marseille is a city I really like. I go there quite often.

It's a city I really love. I love the atmosphere, I love the little cafés, the little shops you can find there. So I'm going to take you there with me.

In a few minutes, I'll be meeting you at my place to pack my suitcase, and this is a great opportunity to see or review some vocabulary.

I'll see you soon.

Time to pack.

Can you please film me while I'm packing?

Yes.

Here, wait.

Here you are! I'll see you now to pack my suitcase. So I've packed a bag to hold all the shoes I want to take with me.

I'm going for four days, so that's a bit much. But I think I'll take two pairs of heels for the evenings and I'll take a pair of sandals.

And then I've got sneakers, but I'd wear those for the train.

Good, you think?

I already have shoes that take up half the suitcase. So I took my straightening iron. Especially as I'm going to the seaside, they'll curl.

Here you go. So... Ah I need swimsuits. I'll take a two-piece swimsuit. A bikini.

And then I'm going to get a swimsuit, a one-piece. I'm also going to get this little accessory. I don't know if you can see very well. It's not the accessory that makes you the prettiest, it's a nose clip.

But I'm taking her to the seaside because I've got a little problem with my nose.

And when I stick my head in the water, it hurts like hell. So I have to wear a nose plug.

I'll take a little dress... Hop, a dress. Here, I'll take a set with a, it's a skirt. It's an outfit with a skirt and a long-sleeved shirt on top.

I'll take a pair of shorts. A little... A little sport shorts and a tee shirt, a tee shirt.

For the other days, I'm going to take dresses, long dresses. I don't think I'll take pants, because it's going to be very hot. I'm not sure. For the train. Maybe I'll wear one for the train.

I'm still going to take a few tops for the beach. Here's a towel for the sea and the beach. I'm going to take a pair of headphones to listen to music, some darts and a pencil. Because I love that.

I'll take a book with me.

And then all that's missing is my toiletry kit and we're good, I think, right?

Yeah.

I'll do it better in the morning because I'm still going to use a lot of things. But I'll still show you what I'm going to bring.

Of course, sunscreen is very, very important. Deodorant, contact lens solution, hairbrush, toothbrush, toothpaste. And then perfume, moisturizer, make-up remover and then I put on all my make-up.

There you go. Come on, I'll shut up for now, I've probably forgotten a few things that I'll have to put back, but let's just say that for now, the suitcase is almost ready.

Well, it's departure day. I just woke up.

I don't speak very loudly because it's 6am. It's very early and Mathieu is still sleeping next door.

I'll go get ready and then I'll go to the station.

Hello! How are you?

Hello girlfriends.

The train is already 25 minutes late.

I can't stop rolling down my pants either.

Well arrived in Marseille. Aren't you hungry?

No. Oh yes, I'm too hungry. No ? We're going to brunch.

Oh yes, we have to go to brunch, we agree.

Because you're covering the next time Bercy wants to touch savings.

Walk around town in the heat, because it's better than Paris.

Walking in a pan bagnat?

In the middle of the heat wave.

Ah, I understood in the pan bagnat.

Marseille baby.

Here, I'm doing the tof here.

You are happy that it is your national holiday. Yeah!

Long live the revolution!

I like the Belgian accent.

It's the way to make A's into A's.

We have a lot to do.

Yes, it's the mistral wind.

But I don't think we have the time.

Ah yes, the thing where they eat your feet there?

Never have. Oh, there's a little drop of water on my head.

It's the mister. Oh, there's a mister?

I don't know, it looks like there are drops coming from there. Yes, there's a mister.

Come on, some water! It's on me!

It's back to the races.

No, there's only, you know, [...] stuff.

What is the problem?

When I cook.

So here's a typical French recipe.

We have for that quality ingredients and made in France and products, of course, of great quality.

So I prepare my ingredients to make sure I've got everything I need to start my recipe.

I'd like to have a little bit.

On the old port, yeah too nice.

There's plenty of room.

These young hopefuls of French cycling. Guaranteed spectacle.

We're going boating. Are you happy to be sailing, Aurélie?

I am very happy.

Are you going to dive into the sea?

Yes, I am getting ready for this beautiful nature reserve in the Calanques. I'm sure it will be beautiful.

See Marseille's landmark for over 150 years, Notre-Dame de la Garde, more commonly known as "La Bonne Mère".

The statue of the Virgin and Child, which crowns the basilica, measures almost eleven meters, weighs close to ten tons and has been covered with almost 30,000 sheets of gold leaf.

And it was architect Pierre Marie who built it. Because Marseille was the European Capital of Culture.

What are we going to eat, Jade? A raclette!

Beautiful. The Velodrome it comes out well nevertheless.
