Marseille, France.

4 pieces

Marseille is an old port with a fort on each side of the entrance and a basilica on the highest hill looking down. Ochre and cream fronts, boats packed into the harbour, white limestone inlets along the coast east of the city, and a light that is harder than anywhere further north. Soap has been made here for centuries and is sold in great cubes. Bouillabaisse is made to rules that are written down and argued about. The Mediterranean's largest port has been working for two and a half thousand years. The pieces here come as prints, ornaments and more.
