Volotea
“We are very proud to be the first airline to support Le Mucem, the largest cultural institution in Marseille. At Volotea, we believe that art and culture are essential foundations for the development of society and the Mediterranean region, and that they must be at the heart of our network.”
As such, Marseille and the Mucem are ideal partners for Volotea. Furthermore, we are delighted that this collaboration is kicking off with the “Voyages, voyages” exhibition, which will explore the influence that travel can have on artists. This aligns perfectly with Volotea’s philosophy that travel should be a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Over the next three years, we will proudly support and promote culture as one of the main reasons to visit Marseille.”
