Noailles & Marché des Capucins
Noailles – Marché des Capucins
Marseille's 'belly', where spices, olives, produce and street food from North Africa, the Middle East and Provence fill narrow streets; often called the city's most exotic market.
The Noailles district lies just east of the Old Port along the Canebière avenue. The Capucins market has produce stalls every morning, and surrounding streets such as Rue Longue des Capucins are lined with spice shops, halal butchers, Tunisian pastry shops and coffee houses. It's a good place to buy harissa, olives and Provençal herbs. The area is crowded, so keep an eye on your belongings. Exit Noailles station on Metro Line 2 and you're there.
