The image displays an urban scene in Marseille, France, centered on the Cathédrale La Major. The cathedral, a large Neo-Byzantine structure with multiple domes and characteristic striped masonry of light and dark stone, dominates the midground. Scaffolding is visible on the upper section of a dome on the right side of the cathedral, indicating ongoing construction or renovation. A grand, symmetrical stone staircase leads up to the cathedral's elevated entrance. Flanking the scene are modern, utilitarian buildings. To the left, a tall, multi-story concrete building with rectangular windows stands next to a lower building featuring extensive glass paneling. To the right, another multi-story, light-colored building with numerous recessed windows lines the street. The foreground consists of a wide pedestrian promenade paved with light-colored square tiles, lined with numerous dark, cylindrical bollards. Parallel to the promenade on the right is a narrow asphalt road with white dashed markings. Several modern, dark streetlights or bollard-style fixtures are interspersed along the promenade. Small planters with green vegetation are also present. A dark, modern trash receptacle is positioned on the right side of the road. The sky above is clear and light blue, with a single white aircraft contrail diagonally visible in the upper left quadrant. No individuals or vehicles are present in the scene, lending a quiet atmosphere.
