Les derniers remparts, Carcassonne 1304: an immersive expedition at Bercy Village

Travel back in time and experience history differently with Les derniers remparts, Carcassonne 1304, a virtual reality experience from Excurio, in partnership with the Centre des Monuments nationaux. Available at Eclipso in Bercy Village from April 4, 2025.

Carcassonne is famous for its medieval citadel overlooking the town. Many tourists visit the citadel all year round to admire the remains of ancient times. But what if you could see the citadel in its 14th-century heyday? Excurio offers a new immersive journey to discover the ramparts of Carcassonne. This experience is a co-production with the Centre des Monuments Nationaux.

Starting April 4, 2025 at Eclipso in Bercy Village, Excurio unveils its fourth virtual reality adventure: Les derniers remparts, Carcassonne 1304. This immersive experience takes us back in time, to discover this great fortress and its just-completed ramparts. This 45-minute expedition plunges us into a never-before-seen story, based around an emblematic monument of southern France.

In this virtual reality experience, we follow Simon, a young lord, and Agnès, a rebellious townswoman, through the streets and ramparts of Carcassonne. Everyday life in the Middle Ages, market scenes, nightly patrols of the ramparts, weapons training or a visit to the apartments of the fortress lords: this journey back in time is designed to immerse us entirely in theatmosphere of the 14th century.

This excursion into the past is romanticized by a simple scenario, suitable for young visitors. Against a backdrop of religious and power struggles, we follow the destiny of a young nobleman charged with protecting the peace and the city in these troubled times.

This adventure blends fiction and historical reality. To achieve this, Excurio has teamed up with the Centre des Monuments Nationaux to create a detailed replica of the medieval city and certain elements of its history.

Always equipped with a virtual reality headset, visitors take part in this journey through time, becoming witnesses to the past. Building on its experience with Khéops and the Paris of the Impressionists, Excurio promises a new adventure even more sensational and creative than its predecessors.

This immersive experience is both interesting and entertaining, as you wander around the reconstructed city in awe. Some scenes and views are very impressive and spectacular. The story is easy to follow, and we find ourselves in the role of silent witnesses, Simon's companions, charged with protecting the city. The adventure is suitable for children aged 8 and over. Be warned, however, that this virtual reality system may make the most sensitive people dizzy or dizzy.

We can't wait to discover this new experience at Bercy Village from April 4, 2025.
