Marseille : comment les piscines municipales ont disparu ?

While Marseille was spending over €550 million on renovating the Vélodrome stadium, another piece of heritage was slowly falling into ruin.

How did France's second-largest city get to this point? Why were its public swimming pools left to decay for almost forty years? This story isn't just about the state of Marseille's swimming pools. It also raises questions about the city's political choices, the inequalities in access to sports, and the concrete consequences of decades of underinvestment. #Marseille #politics #investigation 00:00 Intro 00:59 When Marseille built swimming pools 03:00 The 80s: the turning point 05:27 Promises 07:50 The sports showcase 09:07 An explosive report 11:05 Residents adapt 12:24 How to catch up? 🔔Subscribe so you don't miss any of INA's news videos! * Information about comments ** You are free to express your opinion, even if it is critical.
