Treat your customers to a unique experience – the Cité des Sciences!

The Cité presents science and technology in an exciting and dynamic way, with 20,000 square meters of interactive exhibitions focusing on space, innovation, the environment and much more.

This is where you can pilot an aircraft, discover the ocean depths, grapple with optical illusions, explore a real submarine or watch the creation of the universe.

Youngsters will make straight for the Cité des Enfants, a special area where 2-12 year-olds can take part in a host of fun activities, from observing ants to making a TV show.
