Marseille
Marseille is the oldest city in France: Greek sailors from Phocaea founded Massalia here around 600 BC. The Old Port has kept the city turned towards the sea and the far shore of the Mediterranean ever since. The basilica of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde, known to locals as the “Bonne Mère”, watches over the harbour from its hill, and the Mucem, which opened in 2013 at the mouth of the port, is devoted to Mediterranean civilisations. The Panier district, with its sloping lanes, and the nearby calanques make up a stay that many travellers extend by a day before boarding.
Tangier Med
Arriving at Tangier Med, the ferry docks in a port built on the edge of the Strait, facing the Spanish coast. Police control, customs and vehicle formalities are done on the spot, and the road then leads to the motorway for Tangier (about forty-five minutes), Tetouan or Rabat. Allow time to leave the port in July and August, when many travellers arrive.
