Marché au Poisson, Marseille: All Year

This famous fish market takes place every morning on the Old Port.

The tradition of selling fish in the heart of the city, the Old Port, dates back to the 17th century. It’s much more than a market: it’s lively, chaotic, noisy and colourful, an essential part of the life and identity of Marseille to this day. Small fishing boats pull up at the quay with their catch that has been brought in by fishermen who have been out since dawn. Only local fishermen are allowed to sell at the market. Besides fish there are also mussels, oysters, octopus, crab and lobster.
