The Friche Belle de Mai Marseille

 

The "Friche Belle de Mai" was built on the old Tobacco Factory of Marseille and was opened to the public in 1992. 

 

Between production and broadcast, cultural activities held at the Friche are numerous et multidisciplinary. Everyone can find his happiness through the different shows: plays, dance, music, contemporary art, radio, circus or literature. In addition, a free-access Street Park has opened in 2009 where contests and skate races are organised throughout the year.

On the occasion of the European Capital of Culture, the Friche is developping. Indeed, a space dedicated to visual arts and performing arts is born.

Finally, the 8000-sq.-metre terrace has been renovated and is open to the public!
