Day Seven - Marseille

Our final port visit was to Marseille, France. We toured the Cathedral of Sainte-Marie-Majeure, which overlooks the city and from where you can see the beautiful coastline and Château d'If (the famous prison in adventure novel The Count of Monte Cristo), and we also visited the Fort Saint Nicolas. It was the shortest excursion time of any ports, so we just visited the very basics of the city. There is so much more to see and do.

Charlotte was exhausted after a full week of adventures. She actually fell asleep at dinner!
