Why go

A ferry crossing turns the harbour from a backdrop into part of the visit. It can save a walk around the basin while giving a different view of the quays and boats; treat it as a brief connection rather than a sightseeing cruise.

Useful to know

Check the current crossing timetable and boarding points before using the ferry to connect stops on opposite sides of the Vieux-Port.
Keep a walking route around the harbour in mind if the ferry is not running.
