Return by vehicle to the Old Port and park nearby, then start a slow‑paced, compact walking loop focused on flat or gently sloping areas. Explore the renovated quays of the Vieux‑Port and a curated section of the Le Panier district, choosing just a few atmospheric streets and squares rather than a long uphill walk.
If time and energy allow, make a short, mostly level walk or quick drive to the area around the cathedral quarter, to admire the striped façade and views toward the harbor and Mucem from the outside only. Those who prefer can remain seated nearby while others take photos.
