La Friche Belle de Mai Gallery, Marseille

A hotbed of cultural activities, La Friche is spread across 45,000 square meters of an old tobacco factory, where more than 500 exhibits draw in over 80,000 visitors all year round. "La Friche represents man's incredible capacity to outsmart the systems which prevent him from speaking." These words from Philippe Foulquié, the venue's creator, capture the very essence of what can be described as the city's cultural dynamo: apart from being a great exhibition space for contemporary art, La Friche also takes up other forms of artistic expression to explore culture.
