A COMPLETE EXPERIENCE

Example of a room in the Viking experience

The journey blends genres, featuring themed sets, audiovisual shows, and special effects inspired by theme parks; escape game-style elements with hidden mechanisms, challenges and puzzles; and the rigour of a traditional museum, with collection objects and scientific interpretation.

The route is self-guided and paced by video portraits of actors playing historical figures, gradually building a narrative arc.

The visit ends with a 360° video mapping show that deepens the experience while offering a moment of relaxation, seated or lying down. Lasting 20 to 25 minutes, the show is divided into chapters, allowing visitors to enter and leave the Hall of Dreams at their own pace.

SCIENTIFIC DIRECTION

Cités Immersives places the utmost importance on historical accuracy.

Telling history is a complex task that carries great responsibility. To ensure the highest standards, each Cité is supported by a committee of recognised historians and specialists, led by one or more of its members.
