Europa Experience is a unique interactive space on the European Union situated in the heart of Paris, in front of the famous Madeleine church. This 1500m2 permanent exhibition about the European Union, spread over three floors has a main goal: providing visitors with an immersive, interactive and enriching experience. Through a multimedia journey with enhanced reality activities and a 360° cinema, you travel to the four corners of the EU... from Paris.

Visit the European Union, free of charge and without leaving Paris... This is what Europa Experience offers since May 2022.

Concretely, what is it all about? Europa Experience unveils a permanent interactive andimmersive exhibition about the European Union, taking us through a virtual road trip through the member states. The whole experience is spread over three floors, for a total of 1500m². Throughout the visit, you will discover installations in augmented reality, but also a 360° cinema. What a fun way to travel!

You can explore the place at your own pace, choosing which topic interests you, which countries you wish to discover and whose story you want to hear about. The different digital, interactive and augmented reality stations allow you to experience a unique journey, different for each visit.

Take the opportunity to discover the daily life of European citizens, to understand EU policy and learn about its successes and challenges. For groups of 16 to 32 people (upon reservation), a role-play game is available which allows you to slip into the shoes of a Member of the European Parliament and pass legislation at EU level. It is now up to you to negotiate, adopt or reject the proposals!

A cooperative role-play game, not always easy, but very interesting to better understand those political processes that often seem very distant from us.

All the multimedia stations and activities of this "museum of the European Union" are accessible in 24 languages and for anyone with impaired hearing and vision as well as blind people.

So, would you like to discover this unique experience?
