Marseille Latest: Docks and Shopping News
@Choose Marseille Tourisme Guest Post · Inspire · Shopping & GiftsWandering through Les Docks Village last week, late morning, I was surprised how quiet it was. It’s been open a year now and is an imaginative conversion of a very characterful industrial building.
This 1858 dockside warehouse, is 365m long (for the days of the year), has 4 internal courtyards (for the seasons), 52 doorways (for the weeks), and seven levels (for the days of the week). This newly restored building has been converted to a mixed-use commercial and residential location. Unfortunately, even with plenty of retail stores and dining locations, Les Docks Village needs an ‘enseigne locomotive’.
