Le Vieux Bassin

Built by j. Chevillon, at the top of the Notre Dame district, the old pool was inaugurated in 1887. It would then serve reserve, pumped water to the station of the Blacassins, in the canal de Marseille. Beautiful cut stones that form the vaults and walls were made to confine the waters.Today, it has become a beautiful room of cultural exhibitions, and hosts each year the superb cr��che of Gilbert Orsini with more than 600 santons from end of November to end of January
