The constant ballet of the public contrasts with the Olympian tranquility of Fort Saint-Jean, adjacent to the Museum. Rashid Zeroual, vice-president of the Southern Winners, sits thoughtfully under the imposing ramparts. The leader of France’s largest supporter group is finalizing the final details of its work. It was 17:30 when he ordered his troops to erect the first mural at Fort Ganteaume on the opposite bank. Despite small gusts of wind, the test was successful.
A few meters away, thousands of visitors gather to enjoy the Provençal sun and local entertainment. Mostly families, children and elderly people are present, under the strict supervision of very present law enforcement officers. For the arrival of the Olympic flame in Marseille this Wednesday, May 8, national and regional authorities have deployed a serious security system.
