Marseille car hire

Though it's no Paris, the boutiques of Marseille have plenty to offer and are becoming increasingly popular. Take your Marseille car rental over to the streets around Cours Julien for dozens of small trendy clothing shops.

The best shops to visit in Marseille can be found in the Vieux Port, which fronts the main shopping district. There are also a number of lively open-air markets and modern malls, providing a just the right shopping experience for everyone. Reserve a Marseille rental car so that you have the freedom to visit them all!

A huge part of what makes the city so unique is its open-air markets. Here they sell everything from souvenirs to fresh fish. It’s an experience to be had purchasing your own fresh morning fish in Marseille and grilling for lunch. If you want to catch the fishing boats as they unload their nightly catch at the Vieux Port you'll need to head down to the quai des Belges early.

You can find plenty of souvenir shops selling locally made handicrafts, as well as Marseille's largest department store, Galleries Lafayette, all clustered around rue Paradis and rue Saint Ferréol behind the Vieux Port. Come for the brightly colored fabrics as well as savon de Marseille, a soap that originates in Marseille and which many French women swear by.
