Florian LaunetteThe sinking of the liner "Le Liban" on June 7, 1903, one hour from the port of Marseille, was one of the greatest maritime disasters that the Phocaean city has ever known. <br>
<br>
Today, the wreck of the 28-meter Lebanon lies at a depth of about 36 meters, the bow against the Farillons du large, the stern facing Tiboulen de Maïre. Well preserved, the wreck remains within reach of divers and the water is generally clear, as it is little stirred by the currents. There are multiple accesses, via the port of Cap Croisette, the port of Goudes or the port of Pointe Rouge. The wreck is home to abundant fauna and flora, placing this site among the most beautiful wreck dives in Provence. <br>

Le naufrage du paquebot « Le Liban » le 7 juin 1903 à une heure du port de Marseille fut l’une des plus grandes catastrophes maritimes qu’ait connues la cité phocéenne. <br>
<br>
Aujourd’hui, l’épave du Liban de 28 mètres repose à 36 mètres environ de profondeur, la proue contre les Farillons du large, la poupe orientée vers Tiboulen de Maïre. Bien conservée, l’épave reste à la portée des plongeurs et l’eau y est généralement claire, car peu remuée par les courants. L’accès y est multiple, par le port du Cap Croisette, le port des Goudes ou encore le port de la Pointe Rouge. L’épave abrite une faune et flore abondantes, plaçant ce site parmi les plongées sur épaves les plus belles de Provence.<br>
