The Parisians loved it!
They traveled through millions of years… without leaving Paris.
We were very satisfied with our stay at your establishment for our agency seminar. The breakfast was excellent, the welcome perfect, and an experience we would love to repeat! Thank you to the team.
I came to try this virtual reality experience for the first time. The story is well done, and Mona guides you on the "Builders' Treasure" expedition. The tour is limited to groups of four, which allows plenty of space to admire the scenery and displays. My only slight complaint is that the headset felt quite heavy, which caused me neck pain after the 45-minute session. There was also a gap around my nose, so I couldn't fully enjoy the experience.
I thoroughly enjoyed the virtual reality immersion in Egypt. The experience was truly captivating, allowing you to discover the history, monuments, and atmosphere of ancient Egypt in a much more vivid way than a simple visit or a traditional video. Being immersed in the scenery gave the impression of traveling back in time. You could better appreciate the grandeur of the temples, pyramids, and Egyptian civilization. Virtual reality makes learning more interactive, more impactful, and above all, more accessible. I also appreciated the visual and immersive aspects of the experience: the details, the ambiance, and the sense of presence made the discovery very enjoyable. It's an original and modern way to engage with history while having a fun and impressive experience. In short, I really enjoyed this VR immersion in Egypt because it combines culture, technology, and emotion. It's an experience I recommend to anyone curious to discover Egypt in a new way.
A well-rehearsed introduction and a well-structured 40-minute route. An interesting and fun experience.
A very realistic trip and a route accessible to all, a great idea for a family outing!! I recommend it!
An immersive experience beyond my expectations! It felt incredibly real, and I learned so much. I was very surprised to physically feel the effects of vertigo! But it was amazing!
Incredible experience! Very interesting for learning more about Egypt in total immersion; all the staff are very friendly and available to give advice!
Incredible experience! I highly recommend it; it's very informative and the visual effects are magnificent.
A wonderful experience. Friendly staff. Virtual tour of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Lasts one hour. Impressively realistic. Interesting, informative, and fun. A must-do, even for those who are claustrophobic. It's perfect. Well done!
Great experience at the seminar. Attentive and friendly staff. I have fond memories of the Great Pyramid of Giza 😉
A fantastic introduction to virtual reality with the Builders of the Great Pyramid of Giza scenario! The visuals are stunning and the immersion is very well done. The downsides: it's a bit pricey for 50 minutes of immersion, and the other visitors were particularly noisy, making it difficult to hear the headset's sound. I recommend visiting during the week to avoid the crowds.
I've already had three experiences, alone or with friends. The most successful was in Carcassonne. I highly recommend this experience. The team is welcoming and professional.
Impressionism: a virtual reality tour of the 1874 Salon, guided by Rose, to meet Cézanne and Degas, Monet, Manet, and Zola, with virtual walks through the locations of their paintings. Absolutely moving! Extraordinary!
It's certainly expensive. But I loved the experience. I chose the less immersive mode because of my vertigo; the movements seem different to avoid unpleasant sensations. A truly fantastic experience. I've done Keops and I plan to go back.
A fun experience; I did it with my children and also as part of a professional event. The sets and themes are well-designed, and the duration is long enough to fully enjoy it. However, we did get dizzy after wearing the VR headset for a while.

Your questions about our experiences
Will the experience be offered in the future Eclipso Paris center?
We are currently working on the programming for the future Eclipso Paris center. The experiences that will be offered there will be announced soon.
How long does the "An Evening with the Impressionists in Paris" experience last?
The virtual reality expedition lasts 40 minutes of immersion — which is slightly less than our other expeditions. Including the welcome, the briefing with our teams, the VR headset setup, and the return to reality, expect approximately 1 hour on siteAn ideal format to fit into a Parisian outing, whether you come as a couple, with family or with friends: you have plenty of time to follow up with lunch at Bercy Village, a screening at the UGC Ciné Cité cinema or a visit to the Musée d'Orsay in the afternoon.
Do you need to be familiar with Impressionism to appreciate the experience?
Not at all. The shipment is designed as a fully accessible immersive storyThis experience is accessible even to those with no prior knowledge of art history. You wander freely through the streets of Paris one April evening in 1874, encountering artists in their studios and cafés, and witnessing the discussions and tensions surrounding the birth of an artistic movement still unknown to the general public. The narrative guides you naturally, without jargon or prerequisites. Many visitors leave with a desire to learn more about Monet, Renoir, Degas, and Morisot—it is, above all, an expedition of wonder and discovery.
Is An Evening with the Impressionists suitable for children?
Yes, shipping is accessible from 8 years oldIts narrative and visual format—the wonder of an era, the discovery of artists' studios, the colors and light of 1874 Paris—captivates children, teenagers, and adults alike. For families, it's an ideal cultural outing in Paris, gentle and accessible, that inspires them to then see the works "in real life" at the Musée d'Orsay or the Orangerie. No violent scenes, no shocking moments: it's the most contemplative experience in our catalog.
Who designed the experiment and what sources is it based on?
The expedition is a a co-production between Excurio, Gédéon Expériences and the Musée d'Orsay — the Parisian institution that houses the world's largest collection of Impressionist works. The scientific direction has been entrusted to Sylvie Patry, former chief curator of the Musée d'Orsay, and to Anne Robbins, curator at the Musée d'Orsay, two leading specialists in Impressionism. Each recreated location (studios, streets, interiors), each work depicted in the process of creation, each exchange between artists is based on historical sources and works now held in French public collections. It is this rigor that distinguishes the expedition from a simple immersive projection: it is a true journey through art history, validated by the foremost specialists in the field.
Can the experience cause dizziness?
No, or very rarely. An Evening with the Impressionists is the most contemplative expedition in the Eclipso catalogue There are no jumps, no sudden movements, and no rapid transitions. You wander through the streets of Paris and the interiors of workshops at your own pace, at eye level, in a soft and luminous visual environment. This makes it a particularly suitable experience for those new to virtual reality, those apprehensive about VR, or those who haven't enjoyed other VR experiences in the past. Our team remains present in the room, and you can interrupt your immersion at any time if you wish.
Can you follow up "An Evening with the Impressionists" with another experience at Eclipso Paris?
It's actually particularly easy: with its 40 minutes of immersion (10 minutes shorter than other expeditions), this experience is ideally suited for a combo. Eclipso Paris offers five immersive expeditions covering very different worlds. After Paris in 1874, continue your journey through French history with The Last Ramparts – Carcassonne 1304, radically change your era with Horizon of Khufu ou The Secret of the Pyramid Builders in ancient Egypt, or journey through 3,5 billion years of evolution with Life ChroniclesBook two consecutive time slots online or check availability directly at the Bercy Village reception desk.
Why experience an evening with the Impressionists in Paris, the very city where the story takes place?
This is where the expedition takes on its full meaning. An Evening with the Impressionists literally takes place in ParisOne evening in April 1874, in the streets and studios surrounding the first exhibition of the Impressionist movement at the photographer Nadar's studio on the Boulevard des Capucines. To experience the expedition to Eclipso Paris is to find oneself in the very city where the story takes place — just a few subway stops from the places that gave birth to Impressionism. It's also a unique opportunity to extend the expedition with a 15-minute transfer to the Musée d'Orsay, co-producer of the experience, to see "in real life" the works that you have seen born before your eyes: the a ball at the Moulin de la Galette by Renoir, Waterlilies Monet's dancers, Degas's dancers.
