I came here on a Wednesday evening in August around 5 PM to do some shopping and to visit the…read moreterrasse. The mall was very conveniently located, easily accessible by metro (and by foot, if you're staying in the Joliette area). I entered via an entrance to the food court and a security guard had to pass a wand over me and check my bag before I could continue on. The mall is pretty large and had a lot of the stores I was looking for, including Pull & Bear, Zara, and H&M (I had underpacked for my trip and needed to buy some inexpensive clothes). The stores were reasonably busy given it was a weeknight. I finished my visit by going up to the terrasse; there were clear signs in the mall pointing to the direction of the terrasse. There was a lovely view, especially since the weather was nice. Even if you're not interested in shopping, I would definitely pay the mall a visit to go up to the terrasse, as it's a nice (and free) view.

Next door is the gift shop. See my pictures, actually the visit was not even worth taking too many pictures. Ambiance - See above. Located in the busy tourist area. Service - Just okay. Gift shop which was self service. Price - Tourist prices. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success. Just curious, how many customers do you get in your museum?

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.

Staff in here do speak English and quite helpful. They have a big gourmet section as well with a restaurant. Not sure what it's like as we did not try it. All in all an ok shopping experience.

My mom found a Sinequanone outfit that she was profoundly happy with. The salesperson was very…read moreattentive and accommodating. As we were exiting the store, the bag sounded the store's alarm. We paused and then were approached by security person. He proceeded to take the bag to a very busy cash register. He balled up the top first and aggressively rubbed it against a metal shelf. He did the same with the matching skirt. Then he proceeded to shove it back into the bag. I stopped him and wanted to see both pieces. He snagged both the top and the skirt, ruining a $240 outfit which was just purchased and wrapped with exquisite care. After speaking with the security man , he refused to help us. We went upstairs to look for a possible exchange. None were available so we had to fight to get a refund for the damaged goods. We waited at least 45 minutes and the 1 cashier who could do the credit. We will NEVER go there again due to the abundant amount of ineptitude and stupidity. It was so very disappointing to see my mom one minute so elated and then two seconds later subjected to such horrid treatment!!! I will make certain to speak honestly regarding the hideous service this department store rendered to my friends who travel and love to spend!
