Algiers
You leave Algiers the way you arrive, facing the sea: the white city rises in an amphitheatre above the bay, hence its nickname “Algiers the White”. Before leaving, many travellers climb to the basilica of Notre-Dame d’Afrique, which overlooks the gulf, or take a last walk through the lanes of the Casbah, a UNESCO site since 1992. The neo-Moorish Grande Poste and the Jardin d’Essai du Hamma, created in the 19th century, remain popular stops. Allow time for port formalities, which are often longer in high season.
Marseille
Arriving in Marseille by sea, you see the hill of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde long before you reach the breakwaters of one of the busiest ports in the Mediterranean. The ferry quays are north of the centre, in the port area, so allow for a bus, taxi or car transfer to the Old Port and Saint-Charles station, where the TGV leaves for Paris, Lyon and the Riviera. If you have a day to spare, climb up to the Bonne Mère for the panorama or stroll through the Panier district.
