Photo of the Week – February 14, 2014

This week’s photo gives a glimpse inside Marseille’s biggest flea market, le marché des puces. There is a diverse selection of markets to be found in the second largest city of France, including a famous fish market on the Vieux-Port each morning, the Marché des capucins with it’s stalls of spices, herbs and exotic fruits, a farmers’ market held each Wednesday in the Cours Julien and a used book market every other Saturday. There are also the colorful flower markets along the Avenue du Prado and the Allées de Meilhan, and of course the flea market pictured here, located to the north of the city which offers a wide range of furniture, antiques, clothes, veggies and fruits.

For more information, take a look at the site.
