Interactive museum

The Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie is in the Parc de la Villette, a large park where there was once a slaughterhouse and difficult terrain. The slaughterhouse building remained standing but now functions as a museum. Apart from the Cité there are places for sports, children's attractions, restaurants and the Cité de la Musique, a building devoted entirely to music in all its facets. The Cité des Sciences is a kind of interactive museum. The building consists of many parts, an area to discover curiosities of physics, another to investigate, a huge library of free access to study, an aquarium, exhibition halls and conference rooms where ministers, politicians, scientists, etc.

Give their talks. For example, I had the opportunity to go on an extraordinary visit when Erasmus Day was celebrated and the Minister of Industry, the director of the Center were there, etc. They work for months for a specific event: the story of Star Wars, in honor of a scientist, anniversary, etc.. Next to the main building is La Geode, a round building and silver where the IMAX movies are projected on a screen over 1000m squared. Entrance to the Geode is somewhat expensive (between 7 € and 9 € for movies and 25 € for concerts) in addition to the Cité des Sciences tariff. If you have more than 3-4 days to visit Paris, La Cité de la Villette Park is worth a visit at least a couple of hours. And an IMAX film is of course highly recommended. The films do not always look very interesting, but the choice is usually quite varied (and growing) with an eye to pleasing everyone.
