oldport

A view of the Old Port ("Vieux-Port") of Marseille in France. It is similar to this one, though apparently taken from the Quai du Port. The Église Notre-Dame-des-Accoules, visible in this alternate view of the port, peeks out above the buildings on the right. A roughly equivalent modern-day view can be seen using Google Maps' street view.

Great job epicharmus on figuring these all out!

Marseille, this part of Vieux Port was destroyed by nazis in january 1943

Some of it was destroyed, among which is the "Transbordeur" across he entrance of the port (southern side); most of the Vieux Panier still contains the older buildings.

Epicharmus: Thanks for identifying and connecting the views of Marseilles -- to each other and to the map! We first worked on this collection back in 2002, and it feels great to have the untitled pictures solved. (New title now in place.)

This is the Old Port ("Vieux-Port") of Marseille in France. The church is the Église des Augustins.

ha, just wanted to say the same thing!

Marseille (s) définitivement

Thanks for the fast identification!! Title updated.

C'est dans cette église que les marseillais qui avait fait "Pâques avant les Rameaux" avaient pris l'habitude de se marier, sans doute parce que le curé devait être plus libre d'esprit que dans les autres églises de la ville....

This is another view of the Old Port ("Vieux-Port") of Marseille in France, similar to the shot here. The Église Notre-Dame-des-Accoules is visible to the left.

Following RV.AB2C and his note, the Hôtel-Dieu hospital is also clearly visible in the photograph. A modern aerial shot can be found here.

Yes the Vieux Port, been there, very nice!
