It's a distinctive, modern approach to a history museum, located within the striking Grande Arche complex at La Défense.

What people say
"I did the Cesar immersion and I thought it was good but, it would have been better if the 17 room part was not done backwards, I feel as if it were done starting from the vikings it would make more sense especially for foreigners to understand the history better."
