Take a trip back in time in virtual reality for the 50th anniversary of the Montparnasse Tower. You can discover the history of Paris, from Lutetia to the Middle Ages, through the construction of the two most famous Parisian towers.

Ready to fly over the capital during an immersive experience in virtual reality ? These opportunities to visit Paris in a different way, thanks to time travel, are multiplying these last years and show us the backstage of our favorite monuments. As of May 15, 2023, the Montparnasse Tower and more particularly its Observatory, will be the place to be on the occasion of its 50th anniversary!

This historical discovery is possible thanks to the Observatory's new tour, composed of four self-service virtual reality terminals. A journey through time accessible to all, which plunges us into another era, with the explanations of a voice-over for better orientation. To begin with, we stop 50 years ago, at the time of the construction of the Montparnasse Tower, a revolutionary project for its time!

Then we go back several centuries, with a detour to Lutetia, a Gallo-Roman city whose remains have partly disappeared. We also visit the year 1419, in the Middle Ages, to get a closer look atthe Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral, the Louvre or the Bastille.Finally, we head for the Eiffel Tower,inaugurated in 1889!

Thanks to an immersive technology, you will feel like flying over the capital, and you will remember exceptional and unpublished views. The price includes the classic visit, the unlimited access to the Magnicity Webapp and the access to the Time Travel tour on the56th floor, the highest floor of the tower. Unfortunately, the Tower's terrace is closed to the public untilfurther notice.
