The people of Bordeaux loved it!
They have traveled through millions of years… without leaving Bordeaux.
Fantastic experience with a group of teenagers. Very welcoming. Highly recommended.
An extraordinary experience and exceptionally friendly staff; we loved it. We'll be back to explore another world very soon. We've already visited Cheops and the ISS... Amazing!
An absolutely amazing experience!! This is my second time here; I've done the ISS and the Pyramids of Cheops, which I absolutely loved! The team is friendly, the setting is welcoming, the range of experiences is vast, and the equipment is incredible!! It's a truly unique experience in a perfect location with a top-notch team!! I highly recommend it!
Absolutely remarkable. I tried virtual reality immersion for the first time, and I was completely blown away; it felt incredibly real. On the advice of the staff, I chose Kheops, which was a huge success, and I understand why. I can't wait to come back and try the other themes; I think I'll do them all because I loved the experience so much. A big thank you to the Eclipso team who welcomed me with smiles, kindness, and great professionalism.
Fantastic and very realistic experience 😊 We'll gladly come back to do the other simulations
Space Explorer is by far my favorite, breathtaking, I would do it again with great pleasure!
A breathtaking new space explorer experience. I loved the others, but this one surpasses them! Don't miss it!
A fabulous journey aboard the ISS with spacewalks 💕 We move among the stars and close to the astronauts! A wonderful virtual reality experience
I visited the ISS, and I thought the experience was amazing. The best part was going out into space and watching the Earth go by. Also, when the astronauts arrive, you're right there with them; it's really immersive. 👍
Amazing family experience! We really felt like we were on the ISS and in space! 👩🏻🚀 The whole team is warm and welcoming, absolutely fantastic! 👌🏻
An impressive immersion aboard the ISS! The team is very friendly and helped us a lot with a technical problem.
The experience on the ISS was magnificent. A truly beautiful spectacle. I'd do it again.
We came as a couple to try the experience, and we LOVED it! We really felt like we were there! I highly recommend it for friends, families, or couples!
Excellent experience at Horizon de Khéops. The team is very welcoming and attentive to ensuring we had a good time. I highly recommend it!
Fourth exhibit, the ISS exhibit. Absolutely incredible, a total immersion with real videos of astronauts on the space station, even better than a created imaginary world. A huge thank you to Emma for her warm welcome and enthusiasm. We'll be back.
Fantastic family experience at Eclipso Bordeaux. The immersion is incredible, the team is welcoming and very friendly. We had a wonderful time and I highly recommend it!

SCIENTIFIC EXPERTISE
Designed using leading archaeological sources, archives and scientific research, The Horizon of Kheops recreates with exceptional accuracy the landscapes, monuments and rites of ancient Egypt.
But beyond accuracy, it is the feeling that prevails: that of being faced with a civilization that thought about eternity.
“I am delighted to be part of this unique project aimed at making an important part of the Giza pyramid plateau accessible to everyone.”

Your questions about L'Horizon de Khéops in Bordeaux
How long does the L'Horizon de Khéops experience in Bordeaux last?
The virtual reality expedition lasts 45 minutes of immersionIncluding the welcome by our team, the briefing, the fitting with the VR headset, and the return to reality, expect approximately 1 hour on site rue Saint-Sernin. A duration designed to fit naturally into a day in Bordeaux — between a walk in the historic center listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a detour along the Garonne quays.
On what scientific data is The Horizon of Khéops based?
The expedition was developed in collaboration with Peter Der Manuelian, professor of Egyptology at Harvard University and director of the Giza Project, an internationally recognized research program on the Giza plateau. Every detail—the pyramid's architecture, its chambers, its corridors, its monumental dimensions—is based on surveys validated by contemporary research, including the most recent contributions of the muography (cosmic muon imaging), which in 2017 revealed the existence of a vast, previously unknown cavity inside the monument. It is this scientific rigor that distinguishes The Horizon of Khufu from a simple virtual tour: you enter a monument as researchers understand it today, in light of the most advanced discoveries.
Is the Khéops experience suitable for children and families?
Yes. The shipment is accessible from 8 years old and is one of the most popular experiences for families in Bordeaux. It contains no violent or frightening scenes: it is above all a contemplative and educational journey, immersing young and old alike in the heart of the pyramid as it stood a long time ago. 4 yearsThe narrative naturally guides visitors through the interior spaces and environment of the Giza plateau, blending visual wonder with historical understanding. It's an excellent introduction to Egyptology for curious children, and an experience that leaves just as lasting an impression as a traditional museum.
Is there a suitable mode for people prone to vertigo?
Yes. The Horizon of Khéops has a Moderate (SOFT) This feature softens certain motion effects—particularly useful in sections where the perspective changes or when ascending above the Giza plateau—to reduce feelings of vertigo without diminishing the immersive experience. To benefit from this feature, simply mention it to our team during the briefing; the headset will be configured accordingly. This option is especially reassuring for visitors experiencing virtual reality for the first time, as well as those who have previously felt uneasy during VR experiences.
What is the difference between The Horizon of Khufu and The Treasure of the Builders?
Both expeditions explore ancient Egypt, but with very different narrative angles and sensations — to the point of being fully complementary. Horizon of Khufu is an exploration contemplative and architectural : you enter the pyramid as it exists today, you cross its chambers and corridors, you take in the scale of its monumentality from the Giza plateau. The Secret of the Pyramid BuildersHe, on the other hand, is an investigation interactive and human You travel back 4,500 years to the pyramid construction site, alongside the workers and architects who built it, guided by Mona, a young Egyptologist. The first tells the story of the monument, the second of the people who built it. The two complement each other beautifully: many of our visitors choose to experience both in the same day to discover ancient Egypt in all its facets.
What are the least busy time slots at Eclipso Bordeaux?
For a quieter and more comfortable visit, choose the time slots weekdays between 16pm and 18pm, or on weekends between 12pm and 14pmThese opening hours generally allow you to avoid peak times and fully enjoy the immersive experience. This is particularly useful advice for families with children, as well as for visitors who wish to combine their visit to the Great Pyramid of Giza with the Treasure of the Builders or another expedition.
