Top 10 Specialist Shops
-
1. G Bataille
Finest grocery-cum-delicatessen in Marseille, with irresistible selections of cheese, cold meats, spices, wines and much else besides.
-
2. Rue de la Tour
Not one shop but the tiny street where some of Marseille’s leading fashion creators congregate, among them Manon Martin, Zenane and Casablanca.
-
3. Faïencerie Figuères
Extraordinary enamelled terracotta figures of fruit, vegetables and meat. Artisan works which literally look good enough to eat.
-
4. Terres d’Epices
Great, cave-like emporium boasting food from every corner of the globe, from spices of the Indies to Marmite spread.
-
5. Madame Zaza of Marseille
Now known well beyond Marseille, Zaza’s ethnic-style clothes are celebrated for their creativity and playfulness.
-
6. Souleiado
If you want something Provençal to take home, in the way of fabrics, tableware, linen or clothes, here is a good place to start.
-
7. Nouvelles Galeries
The largest store in town is the one-stop shop (clothes, gifts, wines, groceries and more) for those with less time to spare.
-
8. La Part des Anges
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.
-
9. Le Four des Navettes
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.
-
10. Dromel Ainé
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.
