thrones under a marquee.
This model is none other than the replica of what will become the first museum ship in the world, but also the largest catamaran ever built.
The ship's journey will begin in October 2023 in Marseille before criss-crossing the Mediterranean and stopping off in some fifteen countries, in order to allow as many people as possible to benefit from its various exhibitions on board.
The model is freely accessible until May 29.
