MARSEILLE ON THE BOHEMIAN SIDE
The Cours Julien is "the bohemian neighborhood," the one where you can hunt for treasures while enjoying the tranquility! This neighborhood is the largest street art dedicated district in France. Let yourself be carried away by the colorful streets of this vibrant area. It has a true neighborhood spirit, an atmosphere that one appreciates, very atypical, especially when stumbling upon the famous neighborhood markets: the Plaine market, the farmers' market, the creators' market, the organic market, and more.
The farmers' market is the most renowned and welcomes you on Wednesday mornings. It brings together around thirty local producers who sell fresh and quality products. Farmers must apply and ensure that their products are grown in an environmentally friendly manner.
The Plaine market fills Jean Jaurès square four times a week: on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. On Wednesdays, it is dedicated solely to flowers. You can also discover products from 300 merchants.
A lively neighborhood, friendly atmosphere, and 100% Marseille shopping. The Cours Julien is full of local creators, artists, thrift stores, antique dealers, as well as comic book stores. Don't hesitate to venture into the small alleys of the neighborhood, away from the big chains and the crowd of the main shopping streets, with your glass of fresh fruit juice in hand, snagged just a few minutes earlier at the organic market.
The Cours Julien allows you to combine shopping and relaxation, at Notre Dame du Mont square where numerous bars and restaurants are clustered. The streets between the Cours Julien and Place Jean Jaurès are covered in graffiti that are really worth seeing!
A little gourmet break during your romantic getaway or with friends: sunshine, tranquility, a little coffee or a typical dish in one of the restaurants, just what you need to recharge before heading out to explore the streets of the Phocaean city again?
And why not consider renting a Segway to explore Marseille differently?
