We went there on a weekday at 11 a.m.... not many people... perfect.... Parking in front of the building, on-site reception, signs inside, restrooms inside.... and that magical moment of immersion with bleachers, benches... Time just flies by… don’t hesitate to explore the space… we’ll definitely be back for more screenings.

A beautiful immersion into the underwater world. Very interesting, especially in the submarine base with views on all the walls and reflections in the water of the docks. To do or do again!

The fantastic light show coupled with the knowledge that something created by evil ( the submarine pens) has been reused into a purpose so positive Well done!!

Very mediocre Forced to download the Headout app to manage to get my tickets Why make it simple when you can make it complicated? Before... a simple delivery by other means allowed us to open them directly

I had a wonderful time with the projections and the music. The only downside is that the place isn't lit well enough to move from one room to another.

This immersive experience at the Bassins des Lumières was enchanting. After going through the massive wildfire in Gironde—with the evacuations, the suffocating smoke, the stress…—I felt the need to escape from that reality. The Bassins des Lumières took me on a multisensory journey, allowing me to discover Matisse’s work in 360°. Magnificent.

A great exhibition. A great selection of images and music. The different viewpoints throughout the tour make you feel like you're at the bottom of the ocean.

Getting into the venue was a breeze, especially with the digital “skip-the-line” tickets. The atmosphere at the entrance is truly surprising—we step into another world, dark and steeped in mystery. Then, paintings with very warm colors and in perpetual motion are revealed, reinforcing this sense of immersion in the artist’s works, accentuated by the reflections on the water’s surface. The only slight downside was the almost suffocating heat, which forced us to leave the venue sooner than we would have liked.

The "oceans"-themed tour went very well. However, the online reservation process needs to be improved—directing us to an app that's partly in English is ridiculous!!! Also, why not send the tickets to the email address we provided when booking instead of redirecting us to Gmail?
