About this experience

Engage in a city game while exploring the seaside district of Marseille on a walking tour. Navigate through vast plazas and narrow streets, encountering vibrant street art and quaint boutiques, steeped in history. Solve clues that reveal the past of one of the oldest neighborhoods in Marseille, guiding you through its streets filled with architectural significance. Each clue provides precise directions, eliminating the need for a map, GPS, or guide. This experience is suited for those who enjoy interactive exploration and problem-solving in a historical context. It is not ideal for individuals seeking a traditional guided tour. Participants can discover notable locations like Cathedrale La Major and Montée des Accoules, and find the oldest house in Marseille. The game operates 24/7 throughout the year, allowing for full flexibility in starting times and breaks.

Cathedrale La Major

Cathédrale Sainte-Marie-Majeure de Marseille or Cathédrale de la Major is a Roman Catholic cathedral, and a national monument of France, located in Marseille. It has been a basilica minor since 1896.

4

La Maison Diamantee

Besides its name, the history of this house is a curiosity in itself. Located just behind the City Hall, the Maison Diamantée (Diamond House) owes its name to its facade of pointed stones. It was built between the end of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th century (perhaps 1570 but there is still some doubt). This makes it one of the oldest houses in Marseille with the Hôtel Cabre. It was built on the demand of wealthy Italian and Spanish traders. With its architectural beauty and style inspired by the Medici Italy, it has long housed the famous Marseilles families such as the Saboulin. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to a question/challenge/puzzle to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
