Marseille (Provence), France Port Reviews

Very nice but a little stuffy.

Had 2 hours for lunch. Shops closed during mid day.

It was a nice city, but my excursion was not up to my expectations.

Good

Nothing special. The harbor is nice, but tourist oriented.

Loved my cassis excursion, lovely small town with a drive through a national park.

ship a long way from town, have to take shuttle and when returned from tour on Le Petit train had to walk 1+ mile in heat to get to shuttle bus instead of picking it up where we were dropped off. I had talked to shore excursions to be sure mmy husband with a bad knee would not have to walk far to catch shuttle-- didn't think to ask about return to shuttle.

They don't advertise a free shuttle to the city, but if you can walk for 10 minutes there is a free city shuttle. If I go back, I'll book an excursion here. I feel like we missed some good stuff.

We walked from the port gates into town which was a lot further than I thought. We got the petit train up to the Notre Dame Le Garde. Stunning views & interesting place to look around, especially for my son looking for bullet holes.

a little too dirty. Restuarant we went to for lunch was not curious. The food was good but service was slow.
