Les Partisanes du cours Julien · The Partisanes of Cours Julien

The semi-wholesale women traders whose voices once drove the Cours Julien produce market.

The Partisanes were women traders and semi-wholesalers associated with Marseille’s old fruit-and-vegetable trade. At Cours Julien they mediated produce between growers, wholesalers and retail customers, and became remembered for the verbal energy with which they worked the market.
