Marseilles: from Notre Dame de la Garde

An overview of the city here looking north. We see practically the whole of the tourist area with the large yacht marina, port and even part of the old castle.

Main sights from left: The old fort now a museum with the tall lighthouse structure, the Cathedrale La Major, centre of front buildings (main tourist promenade) shows the city hall (Hotel De Ville). The local ferry port behind and also the new cruise port in the distance, where our ship lay. Just below us on the right is the treelined street we should have come up to the Notre Dame, with its many coach/bus parking spots bringing the tourist up here.
