Market shopping in Marseille

  1. A

    Marché aux Puces

    Marseille's premier market has to be seen to be believed. You can spend ages perusing the many indoor and outdoor stalls and if you start to get hungry, live chickens are killed to order, although there are less violent alternatives too. African carved animals and Marseille sweaters are among the colourful sights you can enjoy.

Cours Julien hosts a Wednesday-morning organic fruit and vegetable market and an Aladdin's cave bric-a-brac market every second Sunday of the month (running from 08:00 to 19:00; metro Notre Dame du Mont-Cours Julien).
