About this audio guide
This guide to Marché Forville in Cannes begins on a spring morning in 2024, when the fish stalls under its 1930s roof suddenly emptied. It follows the fishing families who bring the catch from the Old Port each morning, and the architect from Draguignan who gave the town its covered market. Best heard early, standing near the fish counters.
