They lived the experience

KARINE B.

Unforgettable experience, impressive in terms of technology and time travel.

DIDIER A.

Wonderful immersive experience from the time of the Emperor. The scenes are very well done and detailed. An absolute must-see for history lovers who want to get close for a moment to Napoleon and Murat among others. Beautiful battle scenes. I 100% recommend it. Thank you for your warm welcome, your guidance with the headsets, and your smiles!

BRIGITTE D.

10 and 14, my children were thrilled... "So cool" sums up the experience. Welcome and support, just perfect!!

PATRICIA C.

Great moment, well-done summary of the character’s ambivalence with beautiful effects where the visitor takes part in the story... 10 to 15 more minutes, with the coronation at Notre-Dame for example, would have been nice!

GHISLAINE N.

Very beautiful re-enactment — in less than 45 minutes, we rediscover Napoleon, his wars, his victories and defeats, but also what he contributed to culture, law, and heritage.

HÉLÈNE A.

Why don’t we learn French history at school like this? It would save money and students would follow classes with pleasure!

EMMANUEL F.

Incredible. I recommend everyone to go. You won’t regret it.

FRÉDÉRIC C.

Brilliant!!!! A wonderful and truly immersive moment!

PIERRE O.

A perfectly executed immersion with real historical depth. Bravo!
