If you love to walk this is the city for you. The ship docks on a lovely promenade. It’s a quick 10 minutes walk to the beach. Below are my recommendations for what to see if you’re not doing a beach day.
Centre Pompidou is your first stop just past the beach and before the main street. You can’t miss the checkered glass. The museum is underground and its 5.5 euros for seniors for the permanent and visitor exhibit. If you love modern art and interesting architecture it’s not to be missed.
Then turn left and walk on the park promenade about 10 minutes to the castle, cathedral and main shopping and restaurant area. The cathedral had a huge line so I skipped it and I had been to the castle on my last trip here.
On the way back walk along the waterfront promenade with lots of hand made crafts kiosks, restaurants and shops bak to the ship.
It’s easy to get lost in the maze of streets around the cathedral so just ask a local in the shops or restaurants to point you to the waterfront.
It’s become quite expensive to shop and eat in restaurants here, so a cheap lunch can be had by getting a sandwich or pastries at the bakeries and sit on the shaded benches in one of the parks or promenade.
Hope this helps
Marcia
