The Vieux Port, the Rade Sud, the Mistral, the islands, cliffs, blue sea and Bouillabaisse - Marseille is the exciting second stop on the 2008 Audi MedCup Circuit.

Racing will be held in the Rade Sud, just a short distance from the world famous Vieux Port of Marseille. Whilst sailing under the shadow of Notre Dame de la Garde, the imposing church on the top of the hill that Marseille is built on, the racing teams can expect to sail in all conditions from light airs to the full strength Mistral winds that this area is famous for. The Vieux Port experience awaiting the teams at the end of each race day is unique as it is right in the central business district of the city of Marseille with all of its cafés, restaurants, shops, bars and nightclubs surrounding the moorings.

Marseille is a sports mad city. It hosted some of the games of the 2000 Football and 2007 Rugby World Cups, the first Act of the 32nd America’s Cup, stages of the Tour de France bicycle race and of course Marseille is the home of the most popular French football team, Olympique de Marseille.
