Citéco

Citéco is a Parisian cultural and educational center, unique in Europe, which aims to make the economy accessible to all. We discover that the economy is part of everyday life. Games, manipulations, images, fun and eclectic experiences, with humor and pedagogy, reveal the underneath of this particularly rich and little-known subject. A rich program consisting of evening events, workshops, conferences and thematic mediations is set up there to approach the economy together and in an interactive way. The museum is housed in a magnificent neo-Renaissance mansion, which became a branch of the French bank before changing into the Cité de l’Économie.

Citéco offers a wide range of educational activities, including guided tours on heritage, the economy and sustainable development, as well as workshops on a variety of themes (creation of comic strips and banknotes, introduction to coding and artificial intelligence, etc.) to stimulate the creativity of children and teenagers aged 6 to 16.
Lastly, visitors can take part in eco meetings during their visit to the museum. These discussions or games, initiated by a Citéco mediator, allow them to explore an economic topic in a fun way.

English, Spanish

The proposed tour, based on both heritage and economics, is available in three languages (French, English and Spanish). All digital devices used during the visit are also available in these three languages. Maps are available free of charge to help visitors find their way around the spaces. The museum's mediators are also on hand to discuss and guide visitors as they explore the museum.

Sustainable approach

Citéco has developed actions relating to Corporate Social Responsibility, which have been formalized in the form of a charter. We have integrated our event venue offer into this approach: through a guide to good practice and benefits, we support clients wishing to organize eco-responsible events.
