Finest grocery-cum-delicatessen in Marseille, with irresistible selections of cheese, cold meats, spices, wines and much else besides.

Not one shop but the tiny street where some of Marseille’s leading fashion creators congregate, among them Manon Martin, Zenane and Casablanca.

Extraordinary enamelled terracotta figures of fruit, vegetables and meat. Artisan works which literally look good enough to eat.

Great, cave-like emporium boasting food from every corner of the globe, from spices of the Indies to Marmite spread.

Now known well beyond Marseille, Zaza’s ethnic-style clothes are celebrated for their creativity and playfulness.

If you want something Provençal to take home, in the way of fabrics, tableware, linen or clothes, here is a good place to start.

The largest store in town is the one-stop shop (clothes, gifts, wines, groceries and more) for those with less time to spare.

Not only a good wine shop and delicatessen but also a restaurant and sophisticated take-away outlet. In addition, it’s open every night until 2am.

The oldest bakery in town and, since 1781, home of the traditional Marseillais navette , a small biscuit (cookie) flavoured with orange blossom and, aptly for this port city, shaped like a boat.

Even older than the above, Dromel Ainé has been in the business of selling fantastic chocolates, sweets, and a range of unusual teas and coffees since 1760. An unmissable Marseille experience.
