About this audio guide
This guide to the underwater eco-museum off Île Sainte-Marguerite in Cannes starts on a January day in twenty twenty-one, when six giant faces went into the sea. It follows the money behind the project, the boats that used this water before, and the ordinary Cannes residents whose features were cast in concrete. Best heard on the beach before you put on your mask and snorkel.
