You're looking for a fun and entertaining place to take your kids this weekend or during the upcoming holidays? We have an idea for you: head to La Défense to visit the City of History. A brand new show featuring the King's Musketeers has just made its entrance in the 360-degree ellipse.
A journey back in time to 1637
Since its opening last January, the City of History has allowed us to discover the life of the illustrious Victor Hugo through an immersive sound and light show, at the heart of a 360-degree ellipse. The idea? Relive a key moment in human history by being transported into the life of a major historical figure. An exciting adventure that has captivated countless visitors.
In early October: after 9 months of residence, the French writer finally made way for the Musketeers for a brand new show! For 15 minutes, we follow the thrilling story of young Gatien, leaving his native Gascony to join the ranks of the soldiers of the King's house.Voir cette publication sur Instagram
From the training of the Musketeers at the Hôtel Tréville to heated games of jeu de paume at the Tuileries Palace, to elegant soirées at the Marquise de Rambouillet's and encounters with the great minister Richelieu, In the Times of the Musketeers takes us straight to the year 1637 and immerses us in the heart of 17th century Paris.
Discover the City of History
But the visit doesn't stop there. Once the show is over, don't forget to visit "The Key to the Centuries," a life-size immersive experience that takes us 1500 years back in time. From Édith Cresson to Charlemagne, not to mention Joan of Arc and Napoleon I, almost everyone is there. Like a true time traveler, we find ourselves sometimes in the shoes of a student in 1905, sometimes immersed in a coal mine, or facing the invasion of the Normans.
Each decor, each sound, each smell, each character we meet takes us on a true journey through the history of France.See this post on Instagram

Just choose a date on the tablets and a multitude of animated images corresponding to significant events in history will appear on the screen. There are nearly 400 dates that have been included.Gathered to give you a real journey around the world... in time.
