Marsilly comprises what were originally
two small villages, Nantilly to the east and then the town of
Marsilly itself, with its fortified church and graffiti museum,
one of only two known in France.
Despite its proximity to the core city, Marsilly still looks
like a rural town, characterised by mussel and oyster-farming
activities. |
