Description

As night falls, the 'Jardin des Plantes' is adorned with shimmering colours and luminous creations inspired by flora and fauna. Imagine centuries-old trees enveloped in golden lights, sparkling paths guiding your steps, and artistic installations that celebrate the beauty of life. Every corner of the garden becomes a stage in its own right, where technology meets nature to offer a unique immersive experience. This new edition's route gives pride of place to video mapping and digital holography, which allows for 3D projections suspended in the air. These surprising creations immerse young and old alike in a sensory journey to discover the hidden lights of the plant, animal, mineral and celestial worlds.

An educational family outing

‘En Voie d'Illumination’ is not just a visual spectacle: it is also an invitation to discover biodiversity in a new light. Themed trails, interactive light shows and sound effects punctuate the visit, transforming the walk into a fun and educational adventure. It's a wonderful way to combine entertainment and learning in the heart of Paris.
