Dosya:Marseilles by Piri Reis.jpg

English: en:Marseilles in en:France on the Kitab-ı Bahriye (Book of Navigation) of en:Piri Reis

This map is not that accurate and has serious deviations from the real world:

• On the left the mouth of the en:Rhone (it might have changed quite a lot since then) and the surrounding towns.
• Then in somewhat false orientation the chained harbour of Marsailles (truly the harbour opens in western direction),
• The cliff cape south of Marsailles is close to reality even if not perfectly correct.

Attention: from now on several coast areas were not documented, most missing in modern terms of view is the famous natural en:Bay of Ciotat, but a few not that small islands are missing as well, further en:Cassis, en:La Ciotat, en:Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer and en:Bandol might be missing as well.

• Then the drawn harbour and town that opens to west might be some village in the area of en:Sanary-sur-Mer/en:Six-Fours-les-Plages.
• The harbour of en:Toulon is relatively well depicted including that protective peninsula en:Le Mourillon and the smaller bay on the peninsula of en:Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer with the exception that it all opens to the east.
• The cape of en:Giens in combination with the island of en:Porquerolles is again relatively well recognizable including some minor mis-placed and mis-oriented island that a sailing boat would normally pass in close distance.
• Finally in the east the town of en:L'Ayguade and the former saline area of en:Les Salins d'Hyeres could be identified.

All above is stated under the aspect of not being a translation from the original card material inscriptions but from comparison with reference maps and knowledge of the true location.
