Abandoned by the authorities, this apartment block in Marseille only houses 12 people

La Renaude is one of Marseille’s northern districts. It has a reputation for being underprivileged and difficult. For several years, La Renaude has been neglected by the authorities, recently the new owner decided to demolish the apartment buildings.

Tenants have been offered alternative accommodation. However, 12 people have not accepted these offers and continue to live inside buildings, which are falling apart.
