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.
Sète
Sète receives the ferries from North Africa in its commercial port, a few minutes from the centre and the quays lined with fish restaurants. From the port, Sète station has train links to Montpellier, Narbonne and Marseille, and the A9 motorway runs close by for those travelling by car. If your connection leaves you some time, walk along the Canal Royal or climb Mont Saint-Clair for a view over the town, the lagoon and the sea.
