Cours Julien

This guide to Cours Julien in Marseille goes back to the wholesale market that ran here from around 1860 until the early 1970s, when farmers from surrounding villages rolled in produce by cart each night. You'll hear about the Partisanes and Revendeuses, the women traders whose calling out of prices defined the square's daily rhythm, and the brutal, unglamorous work behind it. It follows the market through to the 1963 decision that would eventually send the last cart rolling out for good.
