Welcome to Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie, one of Europe's largest science museums and a favorite destination for families and science enthusiasts. Opened in nineteen eighty-six at the initiative of President Mitterrand, the museum transformed a former abattoir into a dynamic center that brings science and technology to life. The striking design, featuring standalone glass greenhouses called Les Serres, reflects a modern approach that honors nature and innovation.

Inside, interactive displays lead visitors through subjects from robotics to space, while a planetarium, digital discovery centers, and even a real submarine contribute to an educational journey through major scientific and cultural milestones. Over time, the museum evolved by merging with the Palais de la Découverte and rebranding leisure areas into La Villette, creating a unique blend of learning and entertainment.
