Au Vieux Panier

Unusual guesthouse in Marseille

Presentation Practical information
For a few hours, for a night, stay in the ephemeral universe of an artist.

If Marseille has its Old Port and its Mucem, the Panier has Etienne's pizzas and this daring address.

From its past, this 17th-century building has retained its blue Corsican grocery store facade; as for the rest, everything has been redesigned since the opening in spring 2010 of a very special guesthouse, combining art and conviviality.

The concept is simple: "5 rooms, 5 artists" and ephemeral works.
Each year, Jessica Venediger opens the space of her house Au Vieux Panier (AVP) to 5 artists who rethink and take over a room. Each is free to express themselves on the medium(s) of their choice: wall illustrations, wallpapers, textiles, design, etc. Photographers, graffiti artists, street artists, sculptors, collectives of architects and designers, painters, illustrators, and music labels have already contributed to bringing this unique place to life during previous seasons. Exceptionally, the 5th edition -2014- only allocated 3 rooms because, due to the success of the SKÖ room by the young AVExciters collective and the Purple Lodge by Julien Colombier, AVP decided to keep them, with some surprises and novelties.
To discover in 2014, the young design studio Motifs Pixtil (XXL Suite Room), the sculptor Thomas Canto (XL Room), and the painter Pascale Robert (L Room).

The house, in the heart of historic Marseille, very close to the Old Port, manages to be both comfortable and intimate; every corner hides a detail, a surprise. Breakfast is served to guests in the dining room in buffet form. Unless you'd prefer to enjoy it on the rooftop terrace, which opens up under the Marseille sky, offering a panoramic view of the Major and, beyond, the Estaque and the Côte Bleue.

Go and return because the place is constantly evolving!
