Itinerary description
07 02 2020
Marseille Historic Centre
This is walk 1 of a seven day Mediterranean cruise. There was some planning involved, and some places were left out. Also the walks were kept short due to a time limit for embarkation.
This is a linear walk in Marseille, taking in some of the historic parts of the city.
The walk starts outside the port on the Quai du Lazaret passing the cathedral de la Major. Then onto Viellie Charite church in the Le Panier district. From here you go onto the Fort Saint-Jean, and the Eglise St Laurent.
Then along the promenade of the old marina(Vieux Port) and the Palace de Lenche. And finally to the icing on the cake – the Basilica Notre Dame de la Garde, which is perched on a hill, with amazing views of Marseille. (Note you can still see the bullet holes in the walls from the war. It is well worth visiting this church.
From here we took a bus back (bus stop nearby) near to the start of the walk.
