Navigation Notes

The Vieux Port and surrounding MPM facilities offer over 3,200 berths right in the historical heart of France’s oldest city. It is a vibrant, authentic stop providing deep technical resources, immense cultural value, and excellent transit connections for provisioning or crew changes.27 Passage: The approach requires navigating through intense commercial shipping and high-speed ferry traffic. When a Mistral blows, the coastal sea state immediately outside the harbor becomes violently steep due to the rapid shoaling of the continental shelf, requiring vessels to seek shelter early.
