L'Epopée

Visiting this exceptional site, the former headquarters of Ricard, in the northern districts of Marseille, we immediately had a revelation and quickly ambitious dreams! Investing in such an emblematic place in the city tacitly implies a legacy: that of never skimping on dreams… It is therefore on an extraordinary playground in Sainte-Marthe that the impossible became possible: the Village de l'Épopée was born in 2021, to support, grow and promote the talents of the region. An adventure driven by a young Marseille association: Synergie Family, then joined in the adventure by MCES, Make ICI, Archipel & Co, in partnership with a collective of actors and the Marseille ecosystem.

Every encounter is an opportunity to learn and grow. More than just a (third) place, it's a stimulating and positive Village that puts all its energy into serving the people of Marseille, creating bridges between worlds that don't meet elsewhere. Here, everyone, regardless of age, background, or ambition, has the opportunity to discover, learn, share, exchange, train, and create opportunities. That's why l'Épopée brings together in one place an ecosystem of 50 diverse actors who have a passion for transmitting and supporting, as well as an event program accessible to all, and a crack team to create inspiring tailor-made events for you!

L'Épopée is part of a desire to revitalize the 14th arrondissement of Marseille, in the Ste-Marthe district, by increasing the supply of cultural, social and educational services, by developing economic and employment opportunities on site, by creating attractiveness of the district and by inviting a wide variety of audiences to come and meet.
