24 hours in Marseille Une Nuit at Maison Empereur

Maison Empereur is a must-visit in Marseille. It opened its doors in 1827 as a hardware store (quincaillerie). Today, the shop is a department store featuring high-quality French and European brands and is run by the seventh generation of the family. They offer a unique rental apartment, "une nuit," above the shop. It's accessible to many of Marseille's attractions and houses an archive of catalogues, photos, period furnishings and heritage tools. It blends both modern conveniences and old-world charm.
