An investigative end-of-residency event
For the end of her Iméra/Citadelle de Marseille residency, Mathilde Dewavrin invites you to take part in an investigation of stones in the Fort Saint-Nicolas area.

Rendez-vous aux jardins
This event takes place within the scope of “Rendez-vous aux jardins”, an annual event that highlights the diversity and richness of parks and gardens, encourages exchanges between visitors and professionals, and promotes their restoration and preservation. This year’s theme, Jardins de pierres, Pierres de jardins, resonates perfectly with the Citadelle of Marseille and its approach to bringing together heritages ranging from the built to the natural.
