Les Docks Village
10 Pl. de la Joliette, Marseille, France, 13002
Housed in a revamped 19th-century warehouse that once played an important role in Marseille’s bustling port, Les Docks Village brings together the city’s maritime past and its dynamic present. Designed to resemble a Mediterranean agora, with its airy courtyards and shopping arcades, this vibrant creative and retail center is home to a range of boutiques, restaurants, and pop-ups.
The basics
The rebirth of Les Docks Village is representative of Marseille’s own transformation from post-industrial grit to a thriving arts and culture scene. As much a destination for its architectural beauty and waterside setting as its collection of concept shops, boutiques, and restaurants, the cultural center is a welcoming place to indulge in some retail therapy or sit down for a bite—options range from spots for waffles and dumplings to La Place des Canailles, a festive bar and restaurant.
Les Docks Village has a convenient location near many top Marseille sights, so after your visit it’s worth strolling to nearby landmarks like the Marseille Cathedral, the Panier district (known for its winding alleys and historic charm), and the architecturally innovative Mucem (Museum of Civilizations of Europe and the Mediterranean).
