The Last Stronghold in Lyon
Experiencing the Middle Ages under tension
The people of Lyon loved it!
They traveled through millions of years… without leaving Lyon.
The immersion was amazing. You really feel like you're on board the space station. A fantastic experience!
A surprising experience, I recommend it to anyone who doesn't dare to take the plunge.
It was a great experience, we just regret the feeling of not enjoying everything because there are many video "bubbles"; no doubt to encourage people to come back! The headset becomes uncomfortable after a while as it presses on the forehead and nose (especially for glasses wearers).
The experience is great, but the advertised 40-minute time limit wasn't met, which is a shame.
The immersion is total, especially when you find yourself outside the ISS in space...beware of vertigo, your legs may wobbly because the ISS is transparent
After Kheops and the Lost Worlds, which we loved, we tried the ISS. An extraordinary experience, like no other. We'll definitely do it again soon! The welcome was fantastic, too. We highly recommend it.
Good, but could be more immersive because of the videos. The views from the outside are nice.
Magical! Real images; you feel like you're weightless with the astronauts. It's magnificent! We'll go back as soon as possible!
We saw the 'Lost Worlds' screening and the content was very good. The welcome was great, there were lockers for our belongings, and parking at Confluence was free for 3 hours. The content was really interesting and not limited to dinosaurs. However, if you can avoid wearing progressive lenses, it's better because it gives a blurry impression at times. 🙂
Fantastic VR tour amidst the pyramids, including a visit inside the Great Pyramid of Giza, a virtual reality walk through the construction of the pyramids among the pharaohs, the time of the Impressionists, and other themes we haven't yet explored. The whole family loved it. Book in advance: see the website to plan your visit. A great team on site to welcome you, guide you, and help you if needed. The organization is smooth; if you arrive early and it's not too crowded, you can even start before the scheduled time. They cover 3 hours of parking costs, which is a very nice touch (check the terms and conditions).
Incredible experience with my 8-year-old son. We explored the vanished world, we loved it.
An immersive experience in every sense of the word! If you're a fan of space exploration like me, this virtual reality shouldn't disappoint. You really grasp the immensity of the station, the Earth, and the universe.
EXPERIENCE AN ADVENTURE IN THE HEART OF BESIEGED CARCASSONNE
What awaits you!
Explore the city freely in 1304
Climb onto the ramparts
Observe the city's defenses
Discover the daily lives of the inhabitants
Experience an immersive virtual reality experience
From a narrative point of view, the balance between historical facts and fiction has been carefully crafted in order to best recreate the tensions of the winter of 1304, marked by the arrival of Philip the Fair. From spectator, you become an actor in a key chapter of History.
I enjoyed imagining with the artistic teams and 3D designers of Excurio this living fresco which depicts with unprecedented richness of detail the daily life of the medieval city at the height of its fortifications.

BECOME AN ACTOR IN A LIVING FRESCO FROM THE 14TH CENTURY
Designed by Excurio and the Centre des monuments nationaux, this immersive expedition combines history, intrigue, and emotion. The Middle Ages has never felt so close, so real.
You are not mere spectators. Your presence places you at the heart of the city: among civilians, soldiers, and authorities. You feel the anticipation, the uncertainty, and the question that hangs over everything: what will happen if the walls fall?
Based on the most recent archaeological discoveries.

Your questions about our experiences
How long does the Les Derniers Remparts experience in Lyon last?
The virtual reality immersion lasts approximately 45 minutes. Including the welcome, briefing, equipment fitting, and debriefing, allow approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes in total to fully enjoy your dive into the city of Carcassonne in 1304.
Does the Last Walls experience contain violent or frightening scenes?
No. Although the story takes place during a medieval siege, the experience contains no graphic combat scenes or violent content. You explore the daily life of the city on the eve of the battle: preparations on the ramparts, the activity of the market, interactions between inhabitants, and the rising tensions. The atmosphere is immersive and engaging, yet remains accessible to everyone, including children as young as 8 accompanied by an adult.
Is Les Derniers Remparts suitable for children and school trips?
Yes. The experience is directly integrated into the middle and high school history curriculum: Capetian France, medieval society, the fortifications of Carcassonne, and the political context of the 14th century. Co-production with the Centre des Monuments Nationaux (National Monuments Center) guarantees the accuracy of the historical content. The self-guided exploration format—wandering through the narrow streets, observing the locals, climbing the ramparts—makes learning engaging and tangible. Eclipso Lyon welcomes school groups year-round and offers flexible scheduling. Contact us to organize your visit.
Who designed the Last Walls experience?
The project is a co-production between Excurio and the Centre des Monuments Nationaux (CMN), which manages the Château and ramparts of the Cité de Carcassonne. Editorial and scientific direction was provided by Amancio Requena, deputy administrator of the monument, and Mathilde Bessieux (CMN), with contributions from Nicolas Faucherre, professor at Aix-Marseille University, and Jean Blanc, from the Aude Departmental Archives. Each scene—from the narrow streets to the ramparts—is based on an architectural and historical reconstruction validated by these experts.
Can the experience cause dizziness?
Some people may experience mild sensations, particularly when traversing the high sections of the ramparts, but this is rare. Please note: The Last Ramparts does not have a moderate (SOFT) mode, unlike The Horizon of Cheops and Lost Worlds. However, our team is present throughout the experience to assist you, and you can stop playing at any time if you feel unwell, without disturbing other participants.
Is it possible to watch The Last Walls followed by another experience on the same day?
Yes, it's absolutely possible. Our Lyon Confluence center offers five experiences covering very different eras and worlds: Ancient Egypt with The Horizon of Cheops and The Builders' Treasure, Prehistory with Lost Worlds, Art with An Evening with the Impressionists, and the Middle Ages with The Last Ramparts. You can book two consecutive time slots online or check availability directly at reception on the day of your visit.
What are the least busy times to visit Eclipso Lyon?
For a more peaceful experience, opt for weekday slots between 16pm and 18pm, or weekends from 10am to 11am and from 18pm to 20pm. These times generally allow you to avoid peak periods and enjoy a more tranquil immersion.
