Starting January 1, 2026, the "Notre-Dame Éternelle" experience will be offered exclusively at the Cité de l'Histoire, in the La Défense neighborhood.
Embark on the most incredible journey through time and play a key role in the rebirth of the most famous cathedral!
Dive into the heart of Éternelle Notre-Dame, the breathtaking immersive virtual reality experience created by Orange and Amaclio Productions and produced by the pioneering studio Emissive and set designer Bruno Seillier! At La Maison de l’Immersif (formerly the Cité de l’Histoire), beneath the Grande Arche in Paris-La Défense, get ready to experience an unprecedented technological and cultural challenge.
Equipped with a state-of-the-art VR headset, you’ll be transported into a 500 m² space with complete freedom of movement. Guided by a companion, you’ll leave the 21st century behind to explore 800 years of history and secrets:
An incredible journey through time: From the Middle Ages to the present day, witness the building’s construction in the 13th century, traverse major historical eras, and step into the heart of the current restoration project.


Secret and inaccessible places: Walk up close to the Gothic stained-glass windows, admire Viollet-le-Duc’s spire, explore the legendary roof structure nicknamed “the Forest,” and take in spectacular panoramic views.


A technological and sensory feat: A digital reconstruction of absolute scientific precision combined with striking physical sensations (illusions of depth, weather, and height).


Step into the shoes of a time traveler, embark on a thrilling adventure with family or friends, and discover Notre-Dame as no one has ever seen it before!
