Beautiful and historic port city.

 

Twin medieval turrets overlooking the yacht basin gives an imposing air.

 

Particularly attractive at Christmas with excellent lights and lasers.

 

Lovely medieval centre with covered walkways and good shops and grand Hôtel de Ville.

 

Main tourist attraction for the children is the fantastic aquarium, very modern, very good, very child friendly and often  very busy in August.
