Discover the futuristic architecture of the Parc de la Villette in Paris and let yourself be lulled by the peaceful atmosphere of the Ourcq Canal and the Saint-Martin Canal. Then, join the Génie de la Liberté who proudly stands on the Place de la Bastille.

The tour starts in the cradle of the science of the capital, at La Villette, to discover the most original architectural inventions imaginable by man. Imagine a giant movie theater with a 360-degree screen and a music room with unimaginable architecture! Science really has no limits! You will then walk along the banks of the Ourcq and Saint-Martin canals, immersing yourselves in a relaxed Paris, punctuated by the sound of locks and movable bridges. You'll teleport to the Place de la Bastille, former fortress and prison of Paris, to have a fully colorful end of the visit with the many alleys that hide there.
