Culture at the heart of our Team Building
Between art, history, ethnology, natural science and technical museums, the list goes on!
Historical monuments turned cultural sites
The Cité de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine, a grandiose space
The Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine, located on Place du Trocadéro in the 16th arrondissement, is a merger of several institutions. Its aim? To introduce you to the art of building from the Middle Ages to the 18th century. A vast program! Along the way, you’ll discover a wide panorama of models, murals, stained-glass windows, casts and life-size reproductions. All of them are architectural details from the main monuments in our country.
The Louvre Museum, the world star
Located in the 1st arrondissement, in the heart of Paris, the Louvre is first and foremost a former royal palace whose origins date back to the 12th century. A place of residence and pleasure for the kings of France, it has been constantly modified, refurbished and added to over the years.
In all, over 400 rooms make this the world’s largest museum. A title richly deserved, especially as the Louvre tells the story of ten millennia of art history. After having greeted Mona-Lisa, the Victory of Samothrace and the Venus de Milo, let’s go and meet other works that are an integral part of these rich collections:
- European paintings and sculptures from the 12th to the 19th century.
- Egyptian, Greek, Oriental, Etruscan and Roman antiquities.
The Musée d'Orsay, an impressive monument
The Musée d’Orsay is one of Paris’s most popular museums. Located in the 7th arrondissement, this former railway station with its typical 19th-century architecture is the perfect setting to house works of art, and concentrates a unique collection of furniture, sculptures and above all French paintings, mainly Impressionist, such as those by Cézanne, Degas, Millet, Monet, Morisot, Renoir, Van Gogh… Thanks to our cultural games, you’ll learn to recognize them… without getting your brushes mixed up!
Paris museums built from scratch
The Grande Galerie de l'Évolution, a stunning museum
Opened in 1994, the Grande Galerie de l’Évolution is one of the capital’s mythical galleries, located in the heart of the Jardin des Plantes in the 5th arrondissement. Of the five galleries attached to the Paris Museum of Natural History, this one is the crowning glory. Inside, you’ll discover the diversity and history of life, with a wide range of animal species on display.
From marine to terrestrial biotopes, via extreme environments, hundreds of naturalized animals escort you during your visit, where we, Homo sapiens, have plenty of time to reconsider our place and role in the family of living beings…
The Centre Georges-Pompidou, a breath of modernity
The Centre Pompidou, otherwise known as the Musée d’Art Moderne et Contemporain, was inaugurated in 1977 in the heart of the Beaubourg district. At the time, architects Piano, Franchini and Rogers were in charge of building it in accordance with the President’s guiding principles. The President’s aim was to reconcile the general public with contemporary art. It’s a gamble that’s as much about substance as form.
This avant-garde structure, with its steel frame, glass walls, bold colors and tube-escalator grafted onto its façade, houses several cultural hubs. In addition to being a museum, it also houses a library, a performance hall, a Maison de la Culture and the Institut de Recherche Musical (Ircam). There’s plenty of material for you to brush up on all the artistic trends covering the period from 1905 to the present day.
The musée du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac, a cultural journey
The Musée du Quai Branly in the 7th arrondissement, designed by Jean Nouvel, opened its doors to the public in 2006. Its initial vocation was to bring together the collections of two institutions: the Musée de l’Homme and the Musée National des Arts d’Afrique et d’Océanie.
The tone is set: you are invited to travel. In fact, the scenography of the permanent exhibition has been designed to allow you to wander among works from the four non-European continents: Africa, the Americas, Asia and Oceania. And to know exactly where you’re going, all you have to do is refer to the color code on the floor…
Iconic Parisian landmarks
Not-to-be-missed monuments
The Opéra Garnier, a living showplace
What better than a live performance venue to entertain you and your teammates? The Opéra national de Paris in the 9th arrondissement is a sure bet. Commissioned by Napoleon III from architect Charles Garnier, this building is an undeniable success of the Second Empire.
A grand staircase, marble in a variety of colors (white, blue, pink, red and green), a large foyer and a room with a ceiling painted by Marc Chagall are just some of the features that characterize this theater to perfection. What’s more, this architectural masterpiece boasts a considerable floor area in relation to its capacity: 11,237 m² for just 2,200 spectators. Come in and take your place among the privileged few, discovering the site from an original angle – that of Team Building entertainment!
The Eiffel Tower, muse of the City of Light
Day or night in the Ministères district, it’s impossible not to say hello to France’s best ambassadress.
Erected in 1887 by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 Universal Exhibition, the structure is 324 m high and weighs 7,300 tonnes. Its steel structure is divided into 3 storeys. From the forecourt to the top, you’ll need to climb 1,665 steps – but don’t worry, we’re not planning to make you climb them! In its early days, the Eiffel Tower was far from universally acclaimed. Its presence provoked controversy. In 1909, it was even threatened with destruction. What saved it? Its high altitude, enabling wireless telegraphy. At the same time, in the early 20th century, the much-touted Iron Lady became a muse for artists. They saw her as a symbol of modernity.
Today, the whole world throngs to its feet, and just as well, since it’s at its feet that you’ll be strolling the aisles of the Champ de Mars and the banks of the Seine for your Team Building, and why not take part in a Photo Safari challenge where your team takes a photo with the Eiffel Tower?
The Luxor Obelisk, symbol of La Concorde
In the 8th arrondissement, on one of Europe’s most majestic squares, contemplate the Obelisk that stands at its center.
In Egyptian art, this edifice refers to a quadrangular column surmounted by a pyramidal point. Here, the famous piece of pink granite, 23 m high and weighing 220 tonnes, is covered in hieroglyphics and crowned with a golden pyramid. The engravings on the pedestal tell the story of its installation in the center of Place de la Concorde in the 19th century. It was in 1836 that the Viceroy of Egypt made a gift of it to France. Originating from the temple of Ramses II in Luxor, the Obelisk dates back to the 13th century BC, making it the oldest monument in Paris.
The Arc de Triomphe, star of the Champs-Élysées
There are several triumphal arches in Paris, but the main one, known as the “Étoile”, is the one that naturally springs to mind. Located on the Place Charles de Gaulle, the monument radiates out from the intersection of 12 major avenues, including the historic Champs-Élysées.
The work, inspired by ancient art, was an initiative of Napoleon I, who originally wished to pay tribute to his imperial army. The first stone of the edifice was laid in 1806, but it was not completed until 30 years later, due to the tumult of the fall of the empire.
In all, the arch has colossal dimensions: 50 m high and 45 m wide. Its summit terrace offers an imposing view over Paris. And beneath the vault? The tomb of the Unknown Soldier, laid to rest since 1921. He alone symbolizes all those who died in the First World War. Every evening, the flame of remembrance is rekindled here.
Sacred buildings in the City of Light
Sacré-Coeur, Montmartre's rendezvous for lovers
At the top of the Montmartre hill stands the famous white Romanesque-Byzantine basilica, built between 1876 and 1914. From 1919 onwards, the edifice was dedicated to the cult of the Sacred Heart of Christ, which continues to this day. Whatever the real motivation, everyone flocks to visit this work of art topped by its great dome.
The cobbled streets, charming rural dwellings, secret passageways and vineyards are all remnants of the pre-war town. A popular little Paris, frequented by a cosmopolitan host of artists (painters and writers) who made a major contribution to its renown. Once you’ve hit the pavement, take a step up to the basilica’s outdoor gallery. After 300 steps, you’ll reach the capital’s 2nd highest peak (after the Eiffel Tower) and enjoy a breathtaking view.
Notre-Dame de Paris, the soul of the capital
From the Île de la Cité, the city’s historic birthplace, the name Notre-Dame de Paris resonates around the world.
Thanks to the initiative of Maurice de Sully, then Bishop of Paris, it was built between 1163 and 1300. In the 19th century, it was Viollet-le-Duc who worked to restore it to its former glory, taking advantage of the opportunity to crown it with its great spire, now restored to its original glory. The building is also admired for its flying buttresses, its immense rose windows on the facade and its chimera gallery with its gargoyles. With its harmoniously balanced proportions, Notre-Dame is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. And why not admire Notre-Dame Cathedral from the Seine with our Batobus rally?
The Pantheon, the place of great men
Visit the highest point on the Left Bank: in the Latin Quarter stands the Panthéon, the famous neoclassical edifice commissioned by Louis XV in 1744 after his “miraculous” recovery from a serious illness. Soufflot was commissioned to build the sanctuary, originally dedicated to Sainte-Geneviève (1764-1790). Inside, the layout follows the shape of a Greek cross, dominated at its center by the imposing dome. On the façade, the triangular pediment – the first of its kind in Paris – proudly bears the inscription: “Aux grands Hommes la Patrie reconnaissante” (“To Great Men, the Grateful Homeland”).
In fact, the building changed function several times over the course of the 19th century. In turn, it became a church, a necropolis, the headquarters of the Commune, then a secular temple. Since 1885, the Panthéon has housed the tombs of great personalities. Do you know any of them? Among the dozens resting in the crypt are Joséphine Baker, Louis Braille, Marie and Pierre Curie, Alexandre Dumas, Victor Hugo, Jean Moulin, Germaine Tillion, Simone and Antoine Veil and many more.
