People come to the Marseille area to experience the climate, the food, the architecture, the history and the culture. When they leave they want to take a little piece of those things back home with them. Here’s our list of the best places in Marseille to buy souvenirs; things that allow you to carry some of those amazing memories home.
Savon de Marseille (Every Street Market)
Soap is having a revival. And while it sounds like a clichéd thing that you might give your grandmother at Christmas, the soap in Marseille is made locally and revered in the region. Every home uses “savon de Marseille” and every tourist case is packed with it on the return journey. You can find the soap in every scent in a lot of shops, but the cheapest place to find it is in the markets (and the quality is just as good). Check out our list here for details on the best daily and weekly markets.
