Description : In 600 before J.-C., Phocéens unloaded in a creek, Lacydon, which forms the Old Port today. It is there that all the maritime activity of the city in the XIXe century were concentrated. The quays were built under Louis XII and Louis XIII, and a very important building site of boat construction set up.
