The Last Stronghold in Bordeaux
Experiencing the Middle Ages under tension
Your opinions on the last ramparts in Bordeaux
They have traveled through millions of years… without leaving Bordeaux.
A superb immersive experience. We traveled to the Great Pyramid of Giza, and the visuals and narration were incredible. Time flew by, and we would have gladly embarked on another journey immediately afterward if we'd had the time. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. We highly recommend this activity; it's well worth the price.
You absolutely must see the space experience! It's amazing! The use of video makes the immersion incredibly realistic.
First VR experience, very warm welcome and a very pleasant team. No wait to buy tickets, but allow a little time before you really get into the experience, about 15 minutes for the explanation of the instructions and equipment. Visited: Carcassonne 1304. A very impressive and immersive reconstruction.
Carcassonne 1304. First time in VR. An experience worth having. Friendly staff and good advice for a first-timer.
A fantastic experience with my 8-year-old daughter at the Great Pyramid of Giza. A true immersion in ancient Egypt. My daughter and I were completely captivated. We will definitely be back to see the Lost World and the great builders.
A superb experience exploring lost worlds. I particularly appreciated the special mode for people prone to vertigo. I usually can't stand virtual reality, but this was pure bliss. The immersion was captivating. All the staff I encountered were friendly and attentive. I appreciated the air conditioning, especially since it was 40 degrees Celsius outside. The snack bar at the exit was a welcome place to relax and refresh. In short, I'm returning in two days with undisguised pleasure to try another immersive experience.
This was my second VR experience at Eclipso Bordeaux. Just as thrilled as ever. It's fabulous! You're truly transported to another world! It's extremely well done. The facilities are very pleasant and the staff are very kind and welcoming. I'll be back!
A superb experience at Eclipso Bordeaux! The team is very welcoming and takes the time to explain everything. The Cheops Horizon experience is simply fascinating. The sets are magnificent and you are completely transported to ancient Egypt. I can't wait to try the new one on the ISS!
I've done all the dives and I'm a huge Eclipso fan. Plus, the team is always so friendly. The latest dive on the ISS is very different; there's no guide, but you can see and hear the astronauts, which is fascinating. The experience is truly immersive, and the visuals in space are breathtaking!
Dear Eclipso, and to everyone reading this review, on July 8th, I embarked on my fourth immersive experience. This time, I was headed to space, more specifically the International Space Station (ISS). Unfortunately, this experience didn't convince me. I was expecting something more than simply watching videos. The concept is as follows: you find yourself on the ISS and you have to press bubbles to trigger testimonials from astronauts. During these sequences, it's impossible to move; you can only turn your head. So, I felt more like I was watching a virtual reality documentary than experiencing a true immersion on the ISS. I find this a shame, because virtual reality offers so many possibilities. A guided tour of the station by a 3D character, interactions with the environment, or even a short story to follow would, in my opinion, have made the immersion much more captivating. Despite this disappointment, I still recommend Eclipso in Bordeaux. I've already experienced several immersive experiences there, and the facility offers a variety of scenarios to suit everyone's tastes. This particular ISS experience simply didn't meet my expectations, but other visitors might enjoy it more.
A truly wonderful experience, unlike any we've had the chance to try before. The finale is simply magnificent.
Still very interesting. It's a shame that a small part was only in English, a disadvantage for some.
Our company let us try TITANIC. It was a superb experience; the 45 minutes flew by. Very interesting for a first experience. Go for it without hesitation!

Why does living in Les Derniers Remparts in Bordeaux have a special meaning?
Experiencing Les Derniers Remparts in Bordeaux means immersing oneself in a era when Bordeaux and Carcassonne belonged to the same historyIn 1304, medieval France was rife with tensions between the crown, the great feudal lords, and neighboring powers: Carcassonne held the Pyrenees, Bordeaux was then under English rule, at the heart of the conflict that would lead a few decades later to the Hundred Years' War. The city still retains today numerous traces of this medieval past - the Saint-André cathedral and its Tower Pey-Berland, the Porte Cailhau , the Big BellRemnants of the city's fortifications: these are just some of the monuments to discover within a few minutes' walk of our center on Rue Saint-Sernin.
