Cours Julien, Urban pedestrian square in Notre-Dame du Mont district, Marseille, France.
The concrete plaza features rows of palm trees alongside murals and graffiti art covering the walls of surrounding buildings.
From 1860 to 1970, the square functioned as the central wholesale market for fruits and vegetables before operations moved to the Arnavaux district.
The district contains numerous art galleries, independent bookstores, and music venues that showcase performances by regional and international artists.
The farmers market operates every Wednesday morning with thirty local producers, while flower vendors set up their stands each Wednesday and Saturday.
The square represents the largest concentration of street art in France, with new works regularly appearing on building facades and side streets.
