Children's Cité
Jul 28th, 2009 to Dec 31st, 2009
Your kid can shoot with a camera, lie on the special effects table and fly, or draw an animated cartoon. Children's Cité is designed to create awareness amongst children about the mechanized world around them. Your child will know the link between their actions and the processes that follow. An encounter with the animal world will let him or her know about the species, the ecosystems and the equilibrium between them.

The Argonaute Submarine
Jul 28th, 2009 to Dec 31st, 2009
Argonaute Submarine, the gem of the French Navy is open for all to get a taste of the under-the-sea life. Talk to its 40-member strong crew about their hair-raising experiences, difficulties and stories of bravery. This 400-tonne sub is permanently docked next to the Géode. So open the hatch, slip-in, check the periscope, radar and start navigating. It's almost like a real life experience! Check the website for further details.
