MARSEILLE

Capital of Provence

2600 years old: It all started here.

Marseille is the oldest port in the Mediterranean and the oldest city in France. Over 2600 years old! With such a rich history and a variety of colorful faces, this is an exciting vibrant city not to be missed.

MORE PRECISELY

We will start the tour at the old port and slowly ascend to the oldest neighborhood in Marseille. After getting lost among the picturesque alleyways we go back to the wharf and visit famous and majestic Le Major cathedral. At the Museum of Mediterranean Cultures, we cross the bridge over the port and connect with St. Jean fortress from which crusaders set out for the Holy Land. We will visit the fort from all sides until we finally go down the Ascent of the Cannons (!) back to the port.

This tour is perfect for cruise ship passengers :-)
