The French guide was really helpful with the inderstanding of the architecture, the history and so on. Humor, culture, kindness, as à great combo for à perfect visit
Exhibitions. No queue-cutting tickets at the MUCEM, because no queues...... By downloading the HEADOUT app, tickets are available. You'll have to explain a little better why you're in charge of reservations for this museum, because when we buy tickets online, we wonder if we're not being ripped off....
