Top Rated Shopping in Marseille

This bookshop sells secondhand books which cover a variety of subject areas. You can buy the classics which are shamefully missing your personal collection, as well as other novels, or even a philosphical essay which you can peruse while seated on the sunny terrace of a café in the Cours Julien.

The grocery section which is named Nouvelles Galeries (New Collection) offers a selection of regional specialities from all over France. From the sausages of Vire to Far Breton, passing through Saint-Marcelin, they sell an excellent range of quality products. Good ideas and full of flavour.

At the heart of the city center, Centre Bourse spans a multitude of shops that promise absolute retail therapy. It attracts all sorts of people as it has everything from designer stores to small-scale boutiques to hobby and art stores and a lot more. There are of course places to sit, eat or to rest between shops. The regular sales and discount offers running across the mall add to the overall shopping experience. Centre Bourse also has a parking lot that is open 7 days a week.

Amid the busy shopping streets of the city center, soccer (or "football") fans can buy anything and everything related to the game, including shirts, boots and shin pads at l'Univers du Foot. Inside, it is a shrine of blue and white: the colors that adorn the legendary Marseillaise players. Come here for the best in sporting equipment and gear.

This Marseille designer, located on the Cours Julien, certainly knows how to work with material and form. The 'Madame Zaza style' is original and light, with a hint of the oriental (exquisite dresses), with multiple layers of fabrics and colours. The brand's excellent reputation continues to grow, but the prices remain reasonable. Madame Zaza has already transgressed beyond Marseille's borders, and she's not stopping there. It also has other outlets in the city.

This bustling pedestrian street marks the heart of Marseille's shopping district. The wide variety of boutiques, galleries, superstores, bars, cafés, and restaurants practically guarantees that you will find anything that you are looking for. Shopping spots include the Galeries Lafayette, H&M, Sephora, Mango, Zara, the Virgin Megastore, and much more.
