Fifi fan!
Born into a working-class family in Marseille, Fifi Turin was a factory worker. She began working at the age of thirteen at the Filatures et Tissages de Marseille (Marseille Spinning and Weaving Mills), located at 21 Boulevard des Vignes, now renamed Boulevard Fifi-Turin, in the La Capelette district. A skilled orator and active in the labor movement, she fought against the Occupation. Arrested by the Gestapo, she was imprisoned in Fresnes and executed by firing squad on August 05, 1944.
The antiques district
Leave the Old Port towards the Prefecture and stroll through the Antiques district, on Edmond Rostand Street.
The area is full of pretty buildings and nice little shops: antique dealers, second-hand dealers, second-hand booksellers, art galleries, painters, decorators, framers, cabinetmakers.
Four times a year, and for the past 25 years, the stores have been organizing an open house Sunday.
For lunch, walk back down the street via Rue de Rome or Rue Saint Ferréol and take a break in the sun, on the terrace, at Brasserie Le Petit Saint Louis on Cours Saint Louis.
It is one of the city's iconic squares, it retains very old – and still very elegant – shops such as the Maison Empereur, a hat shop and an armorer.
