…

What we will do
- We take out our cameras ready to capture the spirit of Marseille and
create a true social photo feature.
- Our guide will be waiting to welcome us as we disembark from the ship. Together, we make our way to the city centre, specifically, a point near the Old Harbour where our tour begins.
- First of all, we reach the ombrière: a sheet of stainless steel
acting as a mirror, showing us our upside-down reflex and offering us endless
photo opportunities.
- Let us not forget to capture the city’s emblem – the magnificent Notre Dame de la Garde in the Romanesque-Byzantine style. Will we manage to capture all its charm in a single picture?
- We pass by Hotel Intercontinental (former Hotel Dieu) and venture into
the old 'Le Panier' district, the city’s historic city
centre populated by workshops, colourful lively cafés, and many original
curiosities ready to be photographed!
- We continue towards Marseille
Cathedral: it is rather peculiar how a boules court, the game symbol of
Provence, is found right in front of the entrance to this imposing church. Why
not seize the chance of having our photo taken as we mime a throw?
- We then head back to the Old Port and to the area between the Musée
des civilisations de l'Europe et de la Méditerranée (MuCEM) and Fort
di Saint-Jean, the fortress built by Louis 14th in 1660. From
here, we can admire the city in all of its splendour. - an unmissable occasion
to capture this breathtaking scenery on camera!
- Our excursion has come to an end: we return to our ship ready to post
all the emotions we have enjoyed, which will be forever etched in our memories
and available on our photo gallery.
