Port of Marseille
First port of France and third in Europe, The Port of Marseille offers high level of equipments and services for cruise ships.
The port of Marseille is exceptionally easy to access thanks to a direct link with the A55 motorway. It is located only 20 minutes' drive via the motorway from the Marseille Provence International Airport and only 15 minutes from Saint-Charles Railway Station.
The development of the High-Speed Train since June 2001 by the French Railways has been an additional asset.
