Le\u00a0Silo<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0The Silo, built in 1924, used to be a wheat container at the time of Marseille\u2019s grand commercial days. Abandoned for a while, it was declared historical industrial building and bought by the town of Marseille in 2001, after an extensive renovation from 2007 onwards, it became partly an office block, and finally opened the 2000 seats concert hall in September 2011.\u00a0<\/p>\n

La renaissance du vieux port\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Although the vieux port\u2019s actual face seems quite normal to most considering it\u2019s importance as Marseille\u2019s focal point, it used to be no more than a few feet wide stretch of sidewalk with most of the pavement dedicated to traffic and boat owners….<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

La\u00a0Vieille Charit\u00e9<\/a><\/p>\n

La Vieille Charite, one of Marseille\u2019s architect Pierre Pujet\u2019s masterpiece used to be a shelter house for the poor. Abandonned, it was refurbished in the 1980\u2032s. It now houses the Mediterranean Architectural Museum.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Les docks de Marseille<\/a><\/p>\n

I still remember the driving into Marseille for the first time, past the docks, and being stunned by the beauty of the regular alignment of windows and the bright glow of the blond stone in the strong light\u2026I almost had an accident as I kept twisting my head ….<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Le MUCEM<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Mucem<\/a>, the little name for \u00a0\u00a0\u00bbMusee des civilisations de l\u2019Europe et de la Mediteranee\u00a0\u00bb is planned to open it\u2019s doors in June of this year.
