During this walk, we will explore the oldest remains of Massilia, from the ancient port to the excavations of the former stock exchange, before reaching the sea. Beyond history, we will delve into the ancient imagination through the myths of Greece, Mesopotamia, and Egypt, discovering that each human being is a universe unto themselves and that the city itself reflects the cosmos.
