Saint-Victor
Descend into 1,700-year-old crypts stacked with paleo-Christian sarcophagi beneath a fortress-like abbey. The austere Romanesque towers guard one of Europe's oldest sacred sites: tombs of martyrs, a venerated Black Madonna, and layered chapels carved from ancient quarries. Emerge to panoramic views over the Vieux-Port from the esplanade above.
