I discovered the Atelier des Lumières for the current exhibition on dinosaurs, and it's a great success! The projection on the large walls gives a strong sense of proximity and immersion. The small children's workshop is a really good idea for youngsters and their parents, offering a good extension of the show and/or an alternative for the youngest visitors. The souvenir store is well organized and offers a quality selection. The only small drawback is that you have to sit on the floor to enjoy the show if you don't want to stand; it's convivial but not really comfortable... All in all, a very successful outing at the Atelier des Lumières! Thank you very much.

The image projection is really beautiful and gives another dimension to the documentary. I liked the fact that the documentary is in short stages, which means you can pick it up again after the children's workshop. The children's workshop was great, with the opportunity to draw your own dinosaur and see it integrated into the animation on the wall. Minus: no explanation of the process at the entrance, appropriate clothing for sitting on the floor as there are few benches/seats, photobooth ineffective with IAE and not indicated. Otherwise, I recommend

I really liked the immersive aspect, as always, learning information I didn't know, and the division into several independent chapters that allowed me to arrive and leave in a staggered way with the other spectators. However, I found the experience a little less "magical" than The Little Prince, for example. Less projections in all directions. And one of the images seemed a little blurry. My kids loved it anyway.

    An absolutely fascinating experience! The Atelier des Lumières has succeeded in immersing us in a unique journey through the origins of life. The immersive projections are of exceptional quality, with colors and details that give the impression of walking through prehistory. The combination of images, sounds, and atmosphere creates a real emotion and a sense of wonder. Bravo for this masterful achievement!

    Superb, fun exhibition for the whole family. The film on dinosaurs is interesting and visually very well produced. Good experience to be repeated. The sound is also very good.

    Very nice session. The children (aged 10 and 12) were impressed and delighted. A lesson in history, or rather prehistory, that they won't soon forget. One small comment. The lockers in the changing rooms have been replaced by sweets and sugary drinks. A pity at a time when we know the damaging effects of sugar on our toddlers.

    Too many people moving around, people sitting on the floor that you have to step over. Children running around, difficult to enjoy or even hear at times, people walking in front of you. In short, it's a mess, the concept isn't great. I don't recommend it.

    Beautiful retrospective on dinosaurs, well suited to younger visitors. The images, the colors, the size of the presentation room and finally the children's workshop where they can draw and watch their interactive drawing move.
