With 21 Marseille beaches now open, what’s happening to the navettes maritimes which transport people from the Vieux Port to Les Goudes, Pointe Rouge, L’Estaque and Frioul?
They haven’t been servicing the first three ports during the lockdown, but reduced services did run across to Frioul, being an island with a community reliant on the link.
Frioul services have now resumed but at half-capacity due to every other seat being blocked. So they need more boats, which means fewer for the other ports. News is that from mid-June there will be a morning and an evening trip to Pointe Rouge and l’Estaque, with no ongoing boats to Les Goudes.
Meanwhile the Metropole transport department is looking to up the number of buses running along the coast to the beaches.
