Day 1 · France

Marseille

Embarkation

Depart 16:00

Marseille berths in a large commercial port well north of the Vieux Port, so this is a shuttle call rather than a walking one. Notre-Dame de la Garde on its hill is the view, the Vieux Port is the lunch, and Aix-en-Provence is the half day inland for anyone who wants a different city.
