Today we went to Paris (again - just been there 5 days ago) & visited the huuuuuge science musuem of Paris, named "Palais de la Découverte". Can you believe we stayed there from 10am to 04pm ! We even had a sandwich there !! There were just SO much to see !! You can imagine that under "science" name, you can mean lots of other categories ... and just to name a few ... here were the different areas you could (and that we did) visit :
sounds & vibrations
electrostatics
materials & magnetism
electrical fields
electromagnetism
how animals communicate
the sun & the planets
planetarium
space
weather & climate
genetics & cells
mathematics
mechanics
chemistry
nuclei & particles
earth sciences
heat & fluids
liquid air
life on earth
human biology
optics
light
There was a very fun olfactive exhibition with tons of odoramas, we loved that part too ! :) There are educative workshops, mainly designed for children. The boys had a blast, they even participated in chemical experiments, to their own delight. (sure they'll be dreaming about this tonight !! LOL) The whole musuem is a treasure in itself, the building is very old & very huge, there are mosaics on lots of floors, big stairs, very high ceilings ... really ... it's incredible we didn't know its existence before !
I'll leave you with a slideshow of the photos I made today, in the museum & in Paris. Again we walked a lot & a lot, but is there another way around when you visit a huge city ?! Hoping you're all having a fabulous weekend ! Tomorrow is a (planned) cosy-at-home kind of day. Enjoy your Sunday ! Big hugs XOXOXO

ReplyDeleteHi dear Sonia.
ReplyDeleteHow lucky you are, I mean, I really long to visit Paris at least one time in my life. Thank you for sharing those wonderful pics.

Ciao Sonia, I've been to Paris but never had the chance to visit the Palais de la Découverte. Zeno would love to visit it ;) I'm pretty sure! He has never been to Paris... yet. What a pity, it's such a romantic city! :) Hugs!!! Happy evening!
ReplyDeleteI agree, walking around a big city is much better. I love walking round London and hate getting the tube.
ReplyDeleteHope you had your cosy Sunday. It's been blustery here today, and is rainy tonight. Perfect. :O)

Ooooh I bet your boys loved their museum visit, perfect for little boys!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing the lovely photos, it reminded me how much I was in awe of all the wonderful gold decoration on the buildings when I visited Paris. The city is so well looked after, I loved it, you're so lucky to live there!
Have a super week.
Oh how fun! Wishing you a cozy Sunday.
