Port de Banc
You anchor off here in the shadow of one of Europe's great port cities, with Marseille's storied Old Port just a short ride away — a natural harbour that's been bustling since ancient Greek times. From the water you get a front-row view of the city's layered skyline, and once ashore you're close to the gritty, charming Panier District, the city's oldest neighbourhood, and the grand hilltop basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde. It's a raw, lived-in city with real energy — street food, fish markets, and centuries of seafaring history all within easy reach.
