Short Description
  • Your guide eagerly awaits you at Puerta del Sol, at the foot of the statue of the Bear and the Strawberry Tree, but don't expect him to introduce himself. Even though everyone knows him, he prefers to keep his identity hidden because he has a very bad reputation... . You will come across dark memories that still haunt Madrid today: the Spanish Inquisition, innocent people executed, ghosts and apparitions, suicides, palace intrigues, holy individuals, and even an angel victim of a "flying accident". In short, you will discover a whole gallery of dark characters, curious anecdotes, and unresolved mysteries that will enrich your understanding of Madrid. And if everything goes well during the tour, perhaps your guide will do you the favor of revealing his true identity... at your own risk...

Short Description
  • Welcome to Massilia! "Come as you are," those who enter here in search of a fresh start. Your journey begins in the heart of the city, in the historic district of Le Panier.
  • For it is here, in the district of Le Panier, that Marseille was born in its first form, 600 years before our era. Wander through the narrow streets: getting lost is the best way to rediscover Marseille's richness. You will be accompanied by the best guides imaginable, the founders of the city, Gyptis, or Protis themselves, both of whom know the many secrets of the city.
  • 2600 years ago, Protis, a Greek navigator in search of adventures, discovered pristine coves in the south of Gaul. There, he met the charming and intriguing Gyptis, a young Gaulish woman. Their mutual and passionate love gave birth to the city now known as Marseille. From the union of these two characters, Massilia was born, a Greek colony founded by the Phocians who gave the city its nickname: the Phocaean city. Over the centuries, many have believed they could shape Marseille in their image, constrain it, make it something it was not. 
  • But Marseille resists all and assimilates, mixes, and enriches. It is this richness and mixture that you will discover by following Gyptis or Protis on this unusual visit. Marseille will be revealed to you at different times in its history: in the Middle Ages, under the 3rd empire, during the colonial period, under Nazi occupation... 
  • So many exciting episodes of the city's history that will be recounted during this theatrical stroll. The union of Gyptis and Protis is what symbolizes Marseille in all its splendor: love for the other, arms outstretched to the stranger, and a haven for the most unfortunate. This is what our Greco-Gaulish couple invites you to discover through a visit to the city's streets.
  • From antiquity to the present day, traverse the time and space of this true mosaic of cultures and feel the spirit of this city that makes Marseille extraordinary.

Summary
  • Discover the dark side of the Spanish capital through a theatrical tour in the city streets, encountering its most iconic landmarks and accompanied by a very special guide.
  • Discover the history of Marseille, and the story of those who made it.  It has been composed of multiple peoples in search of discovery, a fresh start, or refuge. It is a cultural patchwork, a mosaic of peoples, a true symbol of openness to the world.
