XCenter

A shop across three floors

XCenter sets up in Plan de Campagne, in the town of Cabriès, with a concept that goes well beyond the classic sex shop. The place spreads across three levels, and the ground floor serves as a shop reimagined for couples, women and men on their own.

You'll find sex toys, gadgets, DVDs, lingerie, BDSM gear and costumes there. The selection puts the focus on quality products, with a good place left for French brands.

A discreet entrance lets you access the venue without broadcasting your visit, which matters a lot to first timers.

The floors upstairs, more intimate

Beyond the shop, XCenter offers private video viewing booths, two cinema rooms and a backroom. The Red Lounge, for its part, can be booked privately for an evening or a moment for two or in a group.

These spaces speak to a clientele looking for something beyond a simple purchase, in a setting designed to stay discreet despite the site's foot traffic (Plan de Campagne draws crowds all year round).

Welcome and atmosphere

Feedback on site insists on the staff's courtesy, including with visitors discovering this kind of establishment for the first time and arriving a bit intimidated. The overall atmosphere is described as relaxed, far from the sometimes seedy image associated with sex shops.

One point comes up in some reviews: the presence of cameras on the upper floors, which record sound and image. Those booking the Red Lounge privately or heading through the backroom might want to keep that in mind before going.

Hours and access

XCenter is open every day from 10am to midnight, which leaves a wide window to stop by during the day or in the evening. The address is 99 avenue Albert Manoukian, in the Plan de Campagne shopping zone, easily accessible by car from Marseille or Aix en Provence.
