The visit to the Hôtel de la Marine: an immersive tour with a sound trail
It took 3 years to restore and renovate the Hôtel de la Marine… Since June 2021, it has been open to the public. Visitors will discover this superb eighteenth-century palace, a real treasure of Parisian heritage thanks to sound tours on themes related to the history of the place.
A connected headset is available to the visitor. This helmet called “The Confident” offers an immersive and innovative experience for a dive into the history of the monument. The sound is automatically triggered depending on where you are and makes you feel like you’ve returned to the court life of the Age of Enlightenment, with melodies, discussions, characters, sounds of life…
