Do you know the Frioul Islands in Marseille?

The tourist who arrives in Marseille wants to see “the Château d’If” and “the creeks”. But the advice we can give him is not to miss the Frioul islands. Follow my finger, there they are, right in front of thehotels Belle-Vue, at the exit of the Old Port. 

Short description

Le Frioul is a heavenly place accessible by boat shuttle from the Old Port. Prices: between 10 and 15 euros depending on whether you decide to stop at Château d'if. Be careful, the beauty of the place means sometimes very long queues. On the Port of Frioul, a shaded area has been specially set up. Because Friuli, it is rocky massifs, succulent plants, and creeks. For the pines and the shade, you can iron. So take a hat and some cream to protect yourself.

It's not that small...

Initially, when you look at the islands from the boat, you say to yourself: “fastoche, we make the two islands: ratonneau and pomègues”. Once there, your feet, even when well shod, will beg you to make a choice. For a day, it's one or the other of the two islands. Unless you take your bike on board, which can be nice! Last point: Friuli is the paradise of the Gabians. Translation: the Provencal gull. If you leave him alone, he will leave you alone!

The port of Friuli

The good news is discovery of the small port. The buildings don't really have breathtaking architecture, but there is a certain charm, especially around the church, which looks like a Greek palace. Don't miss the sea wall, which gives you a view of the sea and the horizon. And above all, enjoy an ice cream or a cold one. You deserved it, right?
