With Life Chronicles in Bordeaux, embark on an immersive expedition through 3.5 billion years and enjoy an experience that is both cultural and entertaining.
From the depths of the ocean to the tropical forests, explore the paleontological landscapes of the great geological periods and marvel at the beauty and diversity of life.
Equipped with a virtual reality headset, you will begin your adventure in total immersion billions of years ago and experience a captivating 45-minute journey.

The result of a close collaboration between Excurio and the National Museum of Natural History, this immersive experience was designed to be as accurate as possible.
