We
recently
enjoyed
a
10-night
Western
Mediterranean
Cruise
on
the
MSC
Lirica
sailing
from
Alicante
(cost
£420
each
in
January).
The
second
stop
was
Marseille
and
we
caught
the
free
shuttle
bus
from
the
end
of
the
port
to
the
Les
Terrasses
du
Port
shopping
centre.
More
information
on
the
port
is
available
on
the
Google
site
What's
in
Port
(cruise
guide
for
1200
ports).
The
shopping
centre
was
central
with
great
transport
links.
We
arrived
in
Marseille
on
a
Sunday
and
visited
the
shopping
centre
just
as
it
opened
at
10am.
The
large
modern
shopping
centre
had
an
ESHOP
stocking
over
60
brands,
as
well
as
over
170
shops
and
restaurants.
There
was
a
great
selection
of
high
street
and
designer
shops
including
the
Apple
store,
Micromania,
Decathlon,
Etam,
Dyson,
Foot
Locker,
G
Star
Raw,
Jonak,
Boss,
Caroll,
Lacoste,
Michael
Kors,
Lush,
Superdry
and
Ralph
Lauren.
Many
of
the
stores
were
in
sale
and
the
prices
were
very
good.
Each
of
the
stores
were
well
stocked
and
carefully
thought
out
to
enhance
the
shopping
experience.
We
bought
some
items
from
Lego,
Zara,
The
Body
Shop,
H
&
M,
Pull
&
Bear,
Claire's,
Stradivarius
and
Pandora.
Having
spent
several
hours
shopping
we
bought
coffees
from
Bchef.
There
was
a
roof
top
bar
and
a
restaurant
terrace
with
fantastic
views
over
the
Mediterranean.
In
terms
of
choice,
there
was
something
for
everyone
including
Mexican,
Thai,
Japanese,
Italian
and
Hawaiian
dishes,
steak,
seafood,
baguettes,
bagels
and
pastries.
The
shopping
centre
had
a
great
selection
of
restaurants
including
Beef
House,
Angel
Bakery,
Bubble
House,
Foodies,
Starbucks,
Frank's
Hotdog,
and
Yoi
by
Yoji
just
to
name
a
few.
As
well
as
having
a
great
range
of
shops
and
restaurants
the
shopping
centre
had
a
2600
capacity
car
park,
free
WiFi,
photo
booths
and
helmet
lockers.
The
shopping
centre
was
immaculate
and
the
staff
were
very
friendly
and
welcoming.
If
visiting
Marseille,
I
would
definitely
recommend
a
visit
to
the
shopping
centre.
Marseille
has
so
much
to
offer
including
touring
the
city
on
the
'hop
on
hop
off'
tourist
bus
(meeting
point
is
86
Quai
du
Port,
13002)
or
visiting
the
palace
(Palais
du
Phara),
Basilique
Notre-Dame
de
la
Garde,
the
museums
of
civilisation
and
history,
the
Cathedral,
Palais
Longchamp
Castle,
the
old
port,
Saint-Victor
abbey,
Parc
Borely
(park
with
18th
century
gardens
and
fountains),
the
former
prison
Chateau
d'if
or
Fort
Saint-Jean.
