Here you will also find the longest bench in the world with its almost three kilometers.
You will arrive as far as the Longchamps Palace, where we make a short stop to take some photos.
Your visit continues to the Neo-Byzantine-style Cathedral of Santa Maria Maggiore. In front of you the Fort of Saint-Jean, built in 1660 by Louis XIV, the church of Saint-Laurent, a fine example of Provençal Romanesque architecture.
At the end of the tour, the coach will leave you in the Old Port area for a walk with the guide to discover the “Vieux Port” among hundreds of moored boats.
