Yacht charter Marseilles lives on the harbour, through the harbour and with the harbour yacht charter Marseilles.

Since long ago yacht charter Marseilles is one of the most important european port towns and favoured by the yacht charter Marseilles crews. The importance and the problems of the town of yacht charter Marseilles are based not only based upon the yacht charter Marseilles harbour. Yacht charter Marseilles, situated in the Gulf of Lions (Golfe du Lion), is after Paris the second largest town of France.

Early trading with the seafaring Greeks brought prosperity and reputation to the Ligurian Tribes that lived in this naturally protected bay. According to the legend yacht charter Marseilles was founded around 600 B.C. by virtue of a wedding of love between a Greek tradesman and a Ligurian prince’s daughter.

The Greek influence was growing steadily over the centuries, many other Greek settlements followed (e.g. Málaga, Nice) and still today the influence is reflected in the language. Although the sea battle of Alalia put an end to the Greek expansion, the foundation for a successful town at the Mouth of the Rhone was laid.

The Romans came, saw and won, but the population of yacht charter Marseilles has always been remaining self assured and militant in securing its liberty. During the French Revolution the yacht charter Marseilles forces defended the new government singing – still today this song, the Marseillaise, is the French National Anthem. During the second World War the French Resistance sustained one of its most important headquarters in yacht charter Marseilles.

At the end of the 20^th century yacht charter Marseilles has come to grips with an internal problem step by step – the elevated crime rate. Nowadays yacht charter Marseilles is more secure, although not in all parts of the town. In any case the situation is safe around the yacht charter Marseilles harbour of Vieux Port, the Old Harbour and the neighbouring Old Town with its famous, but unfortunately ruinous and congested La Canebiere.

Buildings worth to be visited by the yacht charter Marseilles crew are the neo byzantine Notredame de la Garde that surmounts the town on a limestone rock (with a beautiful panorama view over yacht charter Marseilles for the yacht charter Marseilles crew) and the architecturally identical Cathedral de la Major in the Quartier du Panier (the yacht charter Marseilles crews should go to one of the old bistros at the square of the Rue Saint-Pons).

Also erected on an island of limestone rocks was the fortress of Chateau d’If that first served as a fortification and later on as the prison of yacht charter Marseilles. Dumas got his Count of Monte Cristo jailed here. When leaving yacht charter Marseilles, the yacht charter Marseilles crew can sail on its yacht charter Marseilles cruise along this island situated approximately one sea mile offshore.

The yacht charter Marseilles crew that wants to buy fresh fish (and other specialties) for dinner after the first tack of the yacht charter Marseilles cruise from the harbour of yacht charter Marseilles should not follow the tourists’ streams to the fish market at the Quai des Belges but buy it on the market at the Rue Longue des Capucins. There the yacht charter Marseilles crew can also buy other inexpensive provisions for the yacht charter Marseilles cruise. And the yacht charter Marseilles crew should not miss a Bouillabaisse that was “invented” in yacht charter Marseilles.

Some yacht charter Marseilles providers are situated directly in the Old Harbour of yacht charter Marseilles, Vieux Port (43º 17,7’ N 5º 21,8’ E). The equipment there is sufficient for the yacht charter Marseilles crew.

On the southeast course of approximately 30 sea miles to the Islands of Hyères the yacht charter Marseilles crew can stop at many wild bays and picturesque fishermen’s villages.

However, the yacht charter Marseilles crew should at best make its first tack to the Calanque, a Valley flooded by the sea between yacht charter Marseilles and Cassis precipitous limestone rocks.

In the yacht charter Marseilles harbour of Port-Miou there is a yacht charter Marseilles Marina in the Calanques. It is recommended to those yacht charter Marseilles crews that want to start very swiftly from yacht charter Marseilles to make a stop in the National Park of Frioul that counts of four islands und is situated 2 sea miles off yacht charter Marseilles.
