	Vieux Port: TAKE A STROLL AROUND THE HARBOUR Tip Rating:

By LoriPori on December 15, 2004

Harbour Area of Marseille

by LoriPori

It was a beautiful sunny afternoon the day we were in Marseille. We mostly visited the Harbour area. We strolled around the Harbour, had a glass of wine at one of the many outdoor patios and just basicly enjoyed ourselves. Wim didn't want to walk all the way back to the other side, so we took the Ferry-Boat CESAR across the Harbour to where we started from.

	Vieux Port: FERRY BOAT --- CESAR Tip Rating:

Harbour Area of Marseille

After strolling around the harbour, we were all getting a bit fatigued (gosh we're getting to be old poops) so decided to hop on the little ferry boat which takes you back to the other side. It was a short, but fun way to cross over.

	Vieux Port: The Vieux Port Tip Rating:

Without a doubt, the place you cannot miss in Marseille is the Old Port. It is the heart of this crazy old city, at the end of the Canebiere and linking the old Greek town Massilia to the sea. For the best views, walk along the southern edge of the harbour and up to the Parc du Pharo, which offers spectacular views of Marseille, the mountains and the sea.

When the sky is deep blue and the Mistral wind is charging towards the sea, it's great fun being up at the Pharo, right in the firing line of the 'sacre vent'!

	Vieux Port: Old Port fishmarkets Tip Rating:

the taste of Marseille is the taste of the sea, and bouillebaisse is the dish. This consists of fish, and is more of a casserole than a soup. You can of course make your own with authentic Marseillaise fresh fish, bought from one of many market stands that dot the Old Port in the mornings.
This is my friend Carol not wanting to be anywhere near the smelly fish!!

The Vieux Port is an ideal place for hanging about, with a glass of red wine, not doing anything but looking at the passers-by.
That's all you need after having climbed up the stairs to Notre-Dame de la Garde.

The Old Harbour

by LoriPori

Hans, Wim and I just loved taking a stroll along THE OLD HARBOUR. It was an exciting, busy place and a hub of activity. There were lots of shops, restaurants and outdoor patios. An excellent place to people watch.

Hans & Lori -- Harbour

by LoriPori

The original harbour at Marseilles is called the VIEUX-PORT or OLD PORT. Many ocean vessels go in and out of the harbour every year.

I don't know much about the city, but think the more interesting part of it lies around the old port; and they have quite a nice beach though I didn't go to swim there, it was kind of enclosed with a fence, perhaps one has to pay for it? I don't know.

Don't miss a sunset and the time before and after the sunset when everything shines in a warm yellow/orange light and there is a special ambiance all around
