Hello. Thanks for this clarification. The address of the Petit Nice is 7 rue des Braves in the telephone directory (pages jaunes). In my Gault Millau they just write "corniche JF Kennedy, Anse de Maldorme". When I look at a large scale Plan Guide Blay-Foldex map of Marseille I see that it is indeed on the Corniche which starts considerably before there. I've seen this view from a car, from the 83 bus and from a yacht on the bay. Of course you are absolutely right that what you see directly is the Petit Nice with the two islands Frioul and Chateau d'If much further away on the horizon (they appear much better if the thumbnail is clicked). I therefore have taken your better caption with a slight addition. If you'd rather, the caption « View of "Petit Nice" from the Corniche with Frioul and Chateau d'If in the background » would be another alternative ... perhaps I'll use that. Incidentally I have been working on the Aix-en-Provence page (heat permitting) and adding images and content there. I think I'm going to get a friend with a digital camera to take some better pictures. Do you have any thoughts? --Mathsci 14:12, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! When I wrote "Petit Nice", I actually meant the entire peninsula (with the "Petit Nice" establishment on it). AFAIK, the Marseillaise refer to that as little Nice. Of course I think it is perfectly adequate to add the names of the islands in the background. I have a camera and I live in Marseille. If you want pictures of anything in particular (in the general Marseille area, including Aix, but I can't go there every day), just tell me so, I like to take pictures. :-) I also just added a panoramic view on Marseille from Notre Dame de la Garde to the german "Marseille"-page, and I am consideringto embed it in the english version - opinions?JDrewes 12:31, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
