The Ferry Boat Line crosses Marseille's (old port), historical center of the city. It is equipped with 2 piers, one located on the North side, in front of the Town Hall, the second one on the South side of the harbour, facing the Place des Huiles (Oils Square).
The Ferry Boat's trip is 283 m long, and lasts around 3 to 4 minutes. This famous crossing is often said to be the shortest sea route in the world.

This line exists since 1880 and has been exploited from 1953 till 2008 by a famous boat called César, replaced in 2010 by a new electro-solar ferry.
