I was taken aback by the amount of product the had--there's soap there for everyone!

The shop owner suggested I also buy this other soap that looked like a rock. Basically, it is an exfoliating soap that is probably the best thing I have ever used on my body ever! I only bought 2 bars and now I am regretting not buying 100 of them! Other than this special bar of soap, this store is a hidden gem and you should try to find it if you are there!!

L'espace situé rue Saint-Ferréol fait 1500 m2, entièrement dédié à la beauté mais aussi à la ville de Marseille. Des expos, des défilés, des dédicaces d'auteurs d'artistes locaux se déroulent tout au long de l'année.

They have four stores around town but this one is located right along the water. It's a lovely facade outside, well organized and decorated on the inside. Ya girl loves a unicorn statue without fail. And all the scents that fly into your nostrils when you walk in are layered beauty. The designs are all by hand which each little block seeming like a piece of art. Also stamped with their signature, they come in a variety of scents, colors and designs. Staff wasn't friendly but they nicely wrapped up my soaps, so all is well. I loved all the unique shapes and designs here. Very fun store to get unique Marseille souvenirs at non-offensive pricing.
