I will soon be traveling, with Erin, on the new Delta nonstop from RDU to Paris. Then, a TGV to Marseille, and car to Cassis. Reaching out to friends for recommendations to fill a few more nights elsewhere in Provence, and a final night in Paris.

Discovered today, too late, that UEFA EURO 2016 will have games in Marseille's Stade Vélodrome, but no tickets available.
