At Friche la Belle de Mai

La Belle de Mai, Marseille

Reviewers recommend visiting the on-site Les Grandes Tables restaurant for food and drinks.
Explore the wider cultural complex beforehand to see skate parks, studios, and exhibition spaces.

In 1979 near Niort, a French family welcomed Vietnamese refugees fleeing authoritarian rule. Marine Bachelot Nguyen blends documentary accounts, stage puppetry, and archival images at Friche la Belle de Mai to trace this forgotten solidarity movement.
