It’s already underway: the wonderful nautical parade that will accompany the Belem as it enters the Old Port is taking shape, less than six weeks before the event. But in order to accommodate more than a thousand shipments with this prestigious ship, the hellish logistics of this operation were decided by a thread. If the organisers do not give more details about the security system, we already know that they will, and the development of this day is conscientiously limited.
Those who wish to attend this parade from the sea must register on the website paradeflammeenmer. fr, to fill out a form carefully examined by the organizers: identity, license plate of the boat, number of passengers. . . Once the form is finalized, you will still have to wait for the full validation of the organization component. These registrations will only be made for personal vessels that meet the following criteria:
Jet skis, sailboats and unregistered boats will not be able to participate.
For boats that do stick to the stop, it is forbidden to anchor and sail in the stick toing areas:
All vessels will be prohibited from anchoring:
The Belem will follow a route traced between the sea coast and, beyond the coast, the spaces destined for the parade boats. Your tour starts north of the port, on the beach side of Corbières, for the longest time l’Estaque, before you will arrive at the Château d’If around 13. 00. It will then run along the Kennedy Corniche in the South Harbour, before looping and meeting in front of the Old Harbour at 19. 00.
As for the north-south direction, the important thing is that no one is in a hurry. To this end, the organisers of the Marseille Olympic Games have opted for spaces committed to the mode of navigation: the boats that will participate in the parade will be in the north port from 9. 30 a. m. to 12. 30 p. m. , the classic yachts will be coordinated in the south port from 11. 00 a. m. to 3. 00 p. m. , and a domain reserved for Olympic sails in front of the Corniche is planned. from 11. 30 a. m. to 2. 00 p. m.
In the 300m strip that runs along the coast, and to satisfy everyone, other spaces will be divided into “workshops”, through activities, and represented through clubs and associations:
Be careful if you have to take a dip in this busy day: there are also many restrictions here for protection reasons. Swimming and snorkeling are not allowed:
In addition, the ports of Marseille will also be partially closed during those festivities:
