Europe, France, Bouches-du-Rhône, PACA, Marseille, Edifice (slightly cut from all sides)

 

Back to the Southern France portfolio. captured near the city centre of Marseille.

 

I alas don't know the function of this imposing concrete construction. It might be a hotel theatre combination. But the bottom structure might be a church too.

 

This is number 11 of the Marseille album Marseiile album.

 

Marseille n'est pas une ville pour touristes. Il n'y rien a voir .Sa beauté ne se photographie pas. Elle se partage !!!

Marseille is not a city for tourists. There is nothing to see. His beauty is not photographed. It shares!

Europe, France, PACA, Bouches du Rhône, Marseille, Belsunce, Facade (cut from B&T, slightly cut from L).

 

Belsunce is a more or less famous quarter in Marseille. It’s in the centre of town, and it was the place where at the end of the 19th century the first influx of immigrants took place (1882 Greeks), and it’s still very much multicultural. In the years different national/ethnic groups started their path of integration, and well-known members of these groups are Yves Montant (Italian) and Charles Aznavour (Armenian). The years have not been kind to the tenements blocks of the quarter.

 

A process of revitalization started in 1997. Sometimes in a physical sense (demolition, renovation) sometimes in a (largely) social-cultural one.

 

Belsunce breakdown, a rap by Bouga about the life in the quarter, is: here.

 

This is number 90 of Southern France, 18 of Marseille and ofcourse 69 of Facades.

It was early evening as I walked around the harbour. the high building in the background is the cathedral.

A delightful harbour and full of boats.
