Want to visit the flea markets of Marseille? Such a visit can become both entertainment and an exciting walk: rummaging through the rubble with dusty consumer goods, you can stumble upon real treasures (you just need to carefully approach the buying process) - amazing things that are sold for almost nothing (it all depends on the ability to bargain).
Market Les Puces de Marseille
Visitors to this flea market are given the chance to become owners of vintage items, handmade bags, ethnic accessories of Arab and French culture, beautiful dishes, antique interior items (vases, candelabra, mirrors) and a variety of pleasant trifles.
Other Markets
On Thursday and Saturday early in the morning, you should come to the flea market on Place Jean Jaurès (trade closes for lunch) - perhaps from second-hand goods you will be able to “run into” really worthwhile things that will take pride of place in your collections.
Another interesting object should not be deprived of your attention - Cours Julien street, which is famous for holding various fairs: for example, on the second Sunday of the month it is worth visiting the flea market, every Wednesday - to the grocery market, on 2 Saturdays of the month - to second-hand books and every Sunday morning - at the fair of postage stamps.
Shopping in Marseille
The main shopping street is rue Saint-Ferreol, famous for its large shopping malls, famous brands and souvenir shops. You should definitely check out Center Bourse: there everyone can buy everything they need - both clothes and exclusive interior items. Those interested in shops with fairly affordable prices will find them on rue de la Mode.
Another place that deserves the attention of guests of Marseille is Marseille Grand Littoral: there they can walk through boutiques (about 200) and souvenir shops, have a bite to eat in restaurants, spend time at an ice rink or in a cinema. As for the children, there are playrooms for them.
Before leaving Marseille, it is important not to forget to buy souvenirs - perfumes (if you do not know which scent to choose, pay attention to gift sets of perfumes in mini-bottles), bags with dried lavender (perfect for aromatizing rooms and linen), cosmetics for lavender-based, earthenware (you can find them in the Le Panier area), quilts in a unique Provencal style (you can buy them on Saturday-Sunday at the Cours Julien textile fair), Christmas clay santons, handmade and painted, olive soap (go in search of him in shops on the Place de Castellane), aperitif Pastis, Navette de Marseille cookies, Provencal herbs.
