Also known as the Hôtel du Garde-Meuble, the Hôtel de la Marine is one of the legendary buildings on the Place de la Concorde. First the Garde-Meuble de la Couronne (forerunner of the Mobilier national), then the headquarters of the Ministry of the Navy, the building is now open to the public. Equipped with a state-of-the-art helmet, Le Confident, visitors can explore the reception rooms and an exceptional loggia.
Accompanied by their Confident, a headset offering binaural sound (9 languages available), visitors are invited on a 45-minute immersive tour of the state rooms, giving access to a loggia opening onto the Place de la Concorde. The whole family can take part in an audio treasure hunt to investigate the incredible disappearance of the crown jewels (from age 6).
