The summer services for the hourly boats – navettes maritimes – which go from the Vieux Port down to Point Rouge or along to L’Estaque and back will start on Saturday 27th April until 29th September. Cost still 5€ each way. If you haven’t tried these short journeys, they are a great way to see the coast and spend a little time in either community. Pointe Rouge has a nice sandy beach and restaurants ‘pieds dans l’eau’, while L’Estaque has a walk around the viewing points that once drew painters from all over the country……loads of restaurants too.
During the summer, 25 June – 27 September, there will be an additional service down to Les Goudes, 8 euros.

*** I was going into the metro in Marseille one day last summer when illuminated signs warned people that the boats had stopped running due to a sudden Mistral. So it’s a good idea to have a bus timetable to get back, if need be!
