The Tour
La Fontaine's office
The visitor enters the office of Jean de La Fontaine, a real journey back to the 17th century. The poet provides the setting for the immersive exhibition, as well as for the legacy of his 243 Fables.
Fox Room
In a 17th-century French garden, under a tree, the visitor discovers a staging of "The Fox and the Crow", with the evocation of courtiers and flattery. On the outskirts, the visitor discovers the Fox's den and the life of Jean de La Fontaine.
Wolf Room
At the edge of a forest, on a full moon night, "The Wolf and the Dog" meet, caught between independence and the search for comfort, a suggestive evocation of the life of Jean de La Fontaine. A photo booth, skill games, extensive educational material, and collectibles complete the room.
Frog Room
Under the watchful eye of Jean de La Fontaine, this themed universe invites visitors to dive into a pond filled with water lilies, amid the setting of the vain frog "Who wanted to become as big as an ox." This room also explores the famous fable "The Frogs Who Asked for a King" and promises visitors a big-time experience. A jukebox of fables with music enhances the visit.
Lion Room
This part of the route explores the Fable
"Animals Sick with the Plague". This time, the animals meet via video conference and look for a scapegoat to atone for their misfortunes. A fresco of drawings made by visitors and animated with AI, as well as skill games, complete the room.
Dream Room
The Dream Room marks the grand finale of the journey. A dazzling 25-minute show of 360-degree video projections envelops visitors in a timeless experience.
