Conceived as a journey around the Old Port, the event transformed three emblematic buildings with spectacular, immersive projections.
Carried along by original soundtracks, these three shows celebrated the imagination, values and identity of the thousand-year-old city. Between past and present, they wove a visual Christmas tale paying tribute to Marseille's unique culture, heritage and soul.
Organized as a triptych, the Palais du Pharo, Hôtel de Ville and Cathédrale de la Major unveiled their singular, intertwined narratives, captivating the public and inviting them to rediscover the history and richness of the phocaean city.
