Situated at the crossroads of a study concerning food practices, in particular the collective usage of neighborhood’s ovens where home-made bread is brought to be baked, and the ongoing urban « heritage-making » process of the medina since its labelling by the UNESCO, this presentation of ethnographic researches conducted along the past three years in the city of Tetouan proposes to explore the gaps and encounters of two very different modes of urbanity existing in the very same urban space(s) : the city as lived and practiced by the city-dwellers of its neighborhoods on the one hand ; the city as expected, considered and visited by the experts, elites and foreigner tourists through the « World Heritage Site » lens on the other hand.
