Life Chronicles
In Lyon
A dizzying journey through the history of life
The people of Lyon loved it!
They traveled through millions of years… without leaving Lyon.
A good immersive experience. The last ramparts of Carcassonne give a good idea of what life was like at that time.
We just experienced the immersive space experience. We're really inside the ISS, it's mind-blowing!
I loved the experience, which truly gives the feeling of being on the ISS or in space during spacewalks. 'Virtual' reality takes on its full meaning for an immersive space experience.
A very warm welcome and a great immersion experience; I just didn't have enough time to see everything.

Is the Lost Worlds experience suitable for children?
