Welcome aboard this expedition to the mysterious depths of a previously unexplored digital sea... Put on your wetsuits, adjust your masks, and prepare for an underwater adventure like no other. To find your way into the unknown, first follow the rays of the lighthouse, which stands like a shimmering guide in the abyssal darkness. Surrounded by an immense canvas in bright colors, it is a work in itself, recalling a colorful cartography of the depths and their invisible currents. Once arrived in the castle, the cabinets of curiosities of Miguel Chevalier emerging from the abyssal darkness attract us like sirens: his 3D printed sculptures, drawn under a blue light, transport us into a world of flamboyant corals and strange creatures while its virtual ocean engulfs us in its hypnotic dance.

FOCUS ON… A legendary fortress
The Château d'If, located on the Ile d'If about 1.5 km off the coast of Marseille, is a legendary fortress. Built between 1524 and 1531 on the order of François I, this castle became famous largely thanks to Alexandre Dumas' novel, The Count of Monte Cristo. From a bastion of defense for the Marseille city to a feared state prison, this treasure of our heritage remains a symbol of mystery and resistance.
