The Horizon of Cheops, a journey to ancient Egypt

Khéops Horizon was first presented at the Institut du Monde Arabe in 2022, followed by the opening of various dedicated venues. This immersive virtual reality experience is now available at Éclipso Bordeaux.

An immersive journey

The Khéops Horizon experience offers the chance to explore the Giza plateau and every nook and cranny of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: the Pyramid of Khéops. Thanks to the magic of technology, virtual explorers are transported 2,600 years back in time to the funeral of King Khufu himself, offering an emotional immersion in the heart of ancient Egypt.

 

A discovery thanks to virtual reality

Equipped with a state-of-the-art immersive device – a connected VR headset at the cutting edge of innovation – participants are instantly transported to the foot of Egypt’s highest pyramid. Welcomed by Mona, their guide, as the sun sets, they are guided through this 45-minute virtual tour, discovering the pyramid’s architectural mastery and its many mysteries.

 This expedition offers an innovative, instructive, fun, sensory and poetic experience, suitable for all ages, enabling participants to discover the life of the Egyptians of the 4th Dynasty. On the program: a flight over the Giza Plateau, an effortless ascent to the summit of the Great Pyramid offering a breathtaking 360° panorama, exploration of the corridors and burial chambers including the very secret Queen’s Chamber, discovery of an embalming ceremony and even a boat trip on the Nile to attend the funeral of King Khufu.

Circasciences takes to the stage in Bordeaux: understanding the science behind the show

The exhibition *Circasciences en piste*, organised by Cap Sciences, is part of an initiative to bring advanced science to the general public through the lens of the circus arts. The exhibition design features a series of interactive installations that allow visitors to analyse the physical mechanisms employed by performers during their acts. This educational approach transforms a fun experience into a genuine scientific laboratory accessible to the general public.

Located on the quays of Bordeaux, right next to the Cité du Vin, this exhibition benefits from a strategic position within a well-established tourist ecosystem. This location makes it easy to incorporate into a wider urban discovery itinerary, particularly through organised tours.

Exhibition – Around the world in 50 wine regions

The Cité du Vin is hosting the exhibition Around the World in 50 Wine Regions, a visual journey dedicated to the diversity of international wine-growing regions. This programme showcases a selection of photographs from partner regions, each of which has chosen an iconic image to embody its landscape, people or heritage.

The curatorial approach is based on a cross-sectional interpretation of the vineyards, without geographical hierarchy or strict technical classification. The photographs interact with each other through three major themes:

    • the morphology of wine-growing landscapes,
    • the representation of professional gestures
    • and the historical roots of the terroirs.
