有条件的免费取消Explore the history of Marseille through the ages with an immersive theatrical tour!
Plunge into the origins of the Phocaean city, founded over 2,600 years ago, during a landmark event: love at first sight between Gyptis, the daughter of the king of the Segobriges, and Protis, a Greek navigator. This union gave birth to Massalia, the starting point of Marseille's exceptional history. But the city's history doesn't end with its foundation: it has been enriched over the centuries by the arrival of peoples from the four corners of the globe, marking the city's unique identity.
Under the guidance of Gyptis, you'll discover ancient Marseille, a crossroads of civilizations where Greeks and Romans laid the first stones of a city that was to undergo a metamorphosis. You'll begin your journey in the heart of the city, in front of the Ancient Port, the first anchorage point for Greek explorers. This historic site will give you a unique perspective on the birth of Marseille and the city's strategic importance.
Then, Gyptis will lead you through the typical alleyways of the Panier district, a veritable open-air museum where every street corner tells a story. Along the cobblestones, you'll hear the legend of the founding union between Gyptis and Protis, a key moment in the birth of Marseille.
As the tour progresses, Gyptis will take you on a journey through time, evoking Roman domination, the fall of the Empire, and medieval times. But what makes Marseille unique is its ability to resist and adapt, a city that has integrated all influences without ever losing its identity. It's this resilience, this strength of character, that you'll discover as you take this historical walk.
