In the Belsunce district, easily accessible by the T 2 or T 3 tram, Thubaneau Street is home to the Marseillaise memorial, recognizable by far by the great blue-white-white flag adorning its façade. Originally home to a palm play room in the seventeenth century, the place subsequently became a theater and then an Arab bath. It was in 1792 that the building became the seat of the Jacobins club, from which the Marseilles Federated, direction Paris for taking the Tuileries Palace. Their war song, that of the Rhine Army, will later become commonly known as the Marseillaise and our national anthem. The museum is centered around routes with images, multimedia archives and various recordings of the revolutionary song. A real success that we appreciate every visit. History but playful for those that the subject does not attract, well animated with its special effects, it will delight small and large. Opened in 2011, this unique historical interpretation center offers cultural activities and events as well as a wide selection of works and products in its boutique bookshop.
