00:00 I see that everyone is following you.
00:02 Victor Géru, at the Arrinques mill.
00:05 This factory was located about 100 meters from Naguer,
00:11 on the right, upstream of the Arrinques bridge,
00:14 and downstream of the large road of the Dex.
00:18 The large road of the Dex is the rue de Lyon.
00:22 This mill, which could never be enough for its ferocious clientele of bakers,
00:29 had its water source on the Egalade stream,
00:33 either from the plumber, or from the Bachas,
00:37 to the green prairies of popular and joyful memory.
00:41 So what is this Bachas to the green prairies?
00:44 It was here.
00:46 You see the green prairies?
00:48 You see them?
00:50 The popular and joyful memory.
00:52 You see them? It was here.
00:54 We're going to go to Arrinques, which was all about the beaches,
00:58 where Arrinques comes from, from the sand in Provence.
01:01 So it was all about the beaches,
01:04 which were listed as one of the most beautiful baths in Marseille, etc.
01:08 And it was just about starting by remembering
01:12 what it was like here before,
01:15 and also feeling how these transformations
01:19 of a place, these layers that we cross,
01:23 and that these transformations have been taking place for a long time.
01:26 Here, under the grid,
01:28 this is the subject of this walk.
01:30 Under this grid, it's the Egalade stream that flows.
01:34 And so here we're going to spend our time
01:37 seeing it through the grids.
01:40 What you have in front of you is the future.
01:43 It's the Bougainville Park that is under construction.
01:46 It's one of the Euro-Mediterranean projects.
01:49 There's a project to re-nature the stream
01:52 on a small trench that's there.
01:54 You can see, you can guess the hole, the hollow in which the stream is.
01:58 And you can see the trees.
02:00 That's the ripicilve that's connected to the stream.
02:03 We've told each other a lot in the Gamart collective
02:06 that the history of the Egalade stream
02:09 is very much linked to the history of the neighborhoods
02:12 that this stream crosses.
02:14 So there's a lot of history.
02:16 The violence that this stream has been able to endure in certain places,
02:19 is the violence that these neighborhoods have been able to endure in certain places.
