Old Port of Marseille

The Old Port of Marseille is the city's natural harbour, the cove where Greek settlers from Phocaea landed around 600 BC. Fort Saint-Jean and Fort Saint-Nicolas, built under Louis XIV, guard its mouth. Too shallow for 19th-century steamships, it lost its trade to the new docks of La Joliette, and its quays at the foot of the Canebière have been largely pedestrian since 2013.
