Paris Cité Immersive des Fables Ticket - La Fontaine Fables Immersive Exhibition

Follow an actor
into the fables of La Fontaine

This immersive venue is inside the Galerie Berri-Washington near the Champs-Élysées, and you'll spend about 1 hour 30 minutes exploring spaces themed on La Fontaine's fables. An actor in 17th-century costume guides you in French or English. In the first space, La Fontaine's study, you step into the 17th century as the poet himself explains the background of the exhibition and the influence of his 243 fables.

Meet famous fables in the Fox and Wolf rooms

In the Fox Room, set in a 17th-century French garden, you'll see the scene of "The Crow and the Fox" and the fox's den. The Wolf Room, set at the edge of a forest under a full moon, tells "The Wolf and the Dog", with a photo booth, agility games, exhibition notes and collectibles.

Take part in the Frog and Lion rooms

The Frog Room, a pond full of water lilies, covers "The Frog Who Wished to Be as Big as the Ox" and "The Frogs Who Desired a King", and lets visitors appear in giant form. A jukebox plays the fables as music. The Lion Room retells "The Animals Sick of the Plague" as a video conference, with a mural of visitors' drawings animated by AI and games.

End with a 360° video show in the Dream Room

In the final Dream Room, a 25-minute show unfolds through 360° video projection. It was created with Ateliers BK, with music direction by Bon Entendeur. Laurent Stocker of the Comédie-Française plays Jean de La Fontaine, and French actors including Alexandre Astier and Arielle Dombasle voice the animals of the fables.
