The Science and Technology Discovery Centre

Produced in collaboration with the Cité des Sciences de la Villette (La Villette Science Centre) in Paris, this science and technology discovery centre covers an area of more than 5000 m² and is chiefly aimed at children aged between 3 and 15.

Both educational and fun, it also features a wealth of information for the public as a whole.

Interactive experiments, temporary exhibitions, 3-D films, treasure hunts, demonstrations, themed events or courses are all available.   

The Vaisseaus Four Themes

The "Vaisseau" covers four themes: "Discovering animals", "The world and me", "The secret of pictures" and "I am making…".

Here, visitors can take part in a race with their skeletons, produce a news programme, change their head, look inside their bodies or discover the giant hamster of Alsace.
