Markets to visit Bouches-Du-Rhône

The National Theatre of Marseille, known as La Criée, opened in 1981, is located in a historic building of prime importance on the Old Port. Indeed, until 1976, the fish auction was held there. In a Parisian-style and resolutely modernist hall, wholesalers sell their products to fishmongers who come to refuel. Built in 1855 to compensate for the narrowness of the previous auction, nestled in the old districts, this building still retains its characteristic facade today. Its conversion into a theatre is a real success. Don't pass here without taking a look at this industrial and commercial building that is so dear to Marseille's life in the past.

Les Halles 1889 is a fresh produce market that also features a chic bistro. In a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, visitors can enjoy quality cuisine made from fresh, seasonal produce. The menu, which changes weekly, offers inventive and refined dishes. Wine lovers will also be delighted, with a selection that highlights the origin of the wines, from grands crus to the productions of small winemakers. In summer, concerts and barbecue evenings are organized on the terrace. For pastry lovers, the Comptoir d'Entrecasteaux tea room offers a unique setting for tasting delicious pastries, to be chosen at the counter and enjoyed at any time.
