A love story on this street in Marseille Print

A love story on this street in Marseille In the old quarter of Marseille, on a winding street, stood a charming house with small balconies and elegant French shutters. Its stone walls held many secrets, but the most touching story concerned a love affair that had erupted in the years between the two world wars. Hélène, a young teacher, went out on her balcony every day to water her flowers. Across the street, in a small flat, lived Jacques, a young writer. He was working on a novel and often stopped to admire Hélène as she tended her plants. One day, during a violent thunderstorm, the book Jacques was reading accidentally fell from his balcony into the street. Hélène, noticing this, picked up the book and returned it to its owner the next day. This encounter was the beginning of their friendship, which soon developed into a deep feeling. Every evening they would go out on their balconies and talk, sharing dreams and plans. They wrote letters to each other, which they passed on a rope between the balconies, and one day Jacques confessed his feelings to Hélène. The story of their love became a legend on this street, recalling how a house with small balconies and French shutters in Marseille witnessed the birth of true love. The house immortalised in a black and white photograph still keeps the spirit of this wonderful era alive today, reminding every passer-by of the power of love and time.
