Antonia María del Carmen Ferrer

L'Ombrière (La Sombra o el Sombreadero), diseñada por el prestigioso arquitecto británico Norman Foster. ​Es uno de los puntos más fotografiados y modernos del Vieux-Port (Puerto Viejo) de Marsella. Es una enorme marquesina de acero inoxidable pulido que funciona como un espejo gigante elevado. Mide unos 46 metros de largo por 22 de ancho y está sostenida por ocho delgados pilares, lo que le da un aspecto ligero, casi como si flotara sobre el muelle. Lo más divertido de esta estructura es caminar bajo ella y mirar hacia arriba: ​Reflejo perfecto: Al ser de acero pulido, refleja todo lo que pasa debajo (personas, barcos, el mercado de pescado) y el movimiento del mar y el cielo. ​Fotos creativas: Es el lugar favorito de los turistas para hacerse fotos "del revés".

Espacio muy original en el que los transeúntes se reflejan en el techo de acero pulido, en el puerto de Marsella
