Marseille - Belsunce (2)

France, PACA, Bouches du Rhone, Marseille, Belsunce, Fête de Belsunce

Belsunce is a more or less famous quarter in Marseille. It’s in the centre of town and it was place where at the end of the 19th century the first influx from immigrants took place (1882 Greeks) and it’s still very much multicultural. In the years different national/ethnic groups started their path of integration and well known descendants are Yves Montant (Italian) and Charles Aznavour (Armenian) . The years has not been kind to the tenements blocks of the quarter and its social system.
A rap by Bouga about the life in the qaurter is: here on You tube.

A process of revitalization has started in 1997. Some times in a physical sense (demolition, renovation) sometimes in (largely) social-cultural sense. The banners and stuff you see here belong to the latter category and are from the “Fête de Belsunce” program.
