Burlesque theatrical tour in the footsteps of the sailors of the 6th Fleet

Discover the history of Villefranche-sur-Mer, when our city was the home port of the flagship of the 6th American Fleet. We are in 1958. The USS Salem CA-139, a US Navy heavy cruiser based in Villefranche for 2 years, is stranded. The crew is preparing to leave. Meet Mom Germaine, a legendary character, on the Quai de la Douane. Suddenly, an event will upset everything. Mom Germaine invites you to follow her on the quay and through the streets of the Old Town. You will meet colorful characters. They will tell you this unique love story that links Villefranche to the American Navy for nearly 250 years. The characters are played by amateur actors. Event organized in partnership with the Compagnie Jacques Biagini. The route includes several steps.
