Belsunce

Belsunce (French: [bɛlzœ̃s], locally [belˈzœ̃sə]) is a district near Canebière, central Marseille.

Its name was given by Monseigneur Henri François Xavier de Belsunce de Castelmoron, who famously helped during the Great Plague of Marseille.

Belsunce is a popular area from the "Centre Bourse" to the big shopping crentre of central Marseille.

It includes the famous Alcazar, an old theatre that has been converted into a library.
