Your experience

Embark on the most incredible journey through time and become the actors of the rebirth of the most famous cathedral!

Dive into the heart of Éternelle Notre-Dame, the breathtaking virtual reality expedition created by Orange and Amaclio Productions and directed by the precursor studio Emissive and scenographer Bruno Seillier! At La Maison de l'Immersif (formerly the Cité de l'Histoire), under the Grande Arche of Paris-La Défense, get ready to experience an unprecedented technological and heritage challenge.

Equipped with your latest generation VR headset, you are propelled in total freedom of movement on a surface of 500 m 2. Guided by a fellow student, you leave the 21st century to explore 800 years of history and secrets:

An incredible journey in time: From the Middle Ages to the present day, witness the elevation of the building in the 13th century, go through the great historical eras and penetrate into the heart of the current restoration project.

Secret and inaccessible places: Walk as close as possible to the Gothic windows, admire the spire of Viollet-le-Duc, explore the legendary frame nicknamed "the Forest" and contemplate spectacular views.

A technological and sensory prowess: A digital reconstruction of absolute scientific precision combined with striking physical sensations (illusion of relief, weather and heights).

Slip into the shoes of a time traveler, live a thrilling adventure with family or friends and discover Notre-Dame like no one has ever seen!
