Atelier des Lumières

It’s undeniably a pleasant and quite enjoyable experience, but it also leaves a lot of mystery for me. The projections are shown in a gigantic hall, but it’s hard to understand what’s being projected, why, and where it’s coming from. There’s no explanation about the projections, no historical context, no informational panels or anything. Basically, you walk in, marvel at the grandeur and the lights, but that feeling fades after about five minutes. It’s a bit disappointing. I felt like I stayed just to get my money’s worth, as I didn’t really have any other reason, in truth. There were a lot of people sitting on the floor against the walls, in the middle of the room, upstairs... I personally didn’t find that very agreeable on the day I visited. That said, I’m still giving it 4 stars because, once you understand what I just explained, it’s more about settling in comfortably and spending a few hours observing, I guess. I personally didn’t come with that mindset, so that’s something to keep in mind. It’s still a very pleasant experience, though. Plus, there's a photo booth! Loved that. By the way, a lady at the entrance told me that they don’t really check the time on our ticket or the session we come for. So, you can buy a ticket and stay inside all day. I’m not sure if this info is useful to anyone, but I’m putting it out there just in case!

We visited this museum in November 2024. We had a lot of expectations, but we remained really disappointed by this museum. You don't get any explanations about this museum, you see just the screen and the relative projections on it. For sure it is nice to see, but it doesn't justify the price of the ticket. However, if you wanna visit this place, I suggest you buy tickets online to avoid any queue.

I spent around a half hour just sitting on the balcony watching as the music and art drift in and out. For around $20, this place isn't expensive and it's nice to just have a chill experience. It might not be worth it if it's too crowded though.

Very cool way to experience art! Just a small warning to prepare yourself if you suffer from motion sickness. The Studio was my favourite part and the photo booth was fun too although the line took a while.

Loved being immersed in vibrant and colourful brasserie of lights..somehow i thought it would me more physical..but I was happy for the digital experience, the displays, the choice of images, "no story told which to me could have added something to the experience", the music and all the acoustics behind the show..Big enough to swim through the lights, and closing to be inside or over see from up stairs..Will definitely recommend..family trip/small and big kids are all invited..

An immersive digital art center in Paris, housed in a former foundry. It features spectacular multimedia exhibitions that blend art, music, and cutting-edge technology, projecting famous artworks onto vast surfaces. This innovative space transforms traditional art viewing into a dynamic, interactive experience.

Lovely spot for digital art. It was very cool to see the exhibit. People of all ages would benefit from this inquisitive experience. There’s a lot to be desired and you have to fully pay attention to reap the benefits, but I think it’s wonderful! Would have liked to see the Van Gogh one, but it was not running at the time I was here. Would come back for a different exhibit!

I am giving 3 stars not because of the exposition but because of the experience, the expo was impressive but organization is crap. Reasons: 1. There is too many people, there is no control over people coming in and out and it seems people stay for longer than one round. 2. There is very little place to sit, most of the people therefore sit on the ground or stand, which is very uncomfortable to do for one hour. I would advise the atelier to get big setting bags

I can't remember how I found out about this "exhibit". When I originally saw the ad it was about Klimt being the main show. That would have been so cool. It ended the week before my arrival. But it was still a great show. Purchase your ticket online and pick a date and time. Originally thought the exhibit was in an old warehouse, but it's the main floor of a residential building. Two stories of open space. The images are projected on the floor and all the walls choreographed to music. The first was Van Gogh's Starry Night with other of his works mixed. Japanese Images of a Floating World was next installation. The works have movement and floats through the vast space. There are no seats. Be careful walking around, as people just sit in the middle of the floor to watch. You can hang out and watch it a second time. Highly recommend seeing this.

Even though I wanted to see the Van Gogh exhibit, seeing Monet and Kandinsky was a wonderful experience. The music that comes along with the digital paintings is a perfect match. A must see !

Forget the Louvre... Forget the Orsay... Forget the L'Orangerie... Atelier des Lumières is an experimental art experience that is absolute perfection. You're immersed into a digitally animated world of art where the brilliant works of Van Gogh surround you with its beautiful surreal imagery that is matched with music in a dazzling choreography. Words can't describe the beauty of this, go to the website and see whats its about, then really go there to see for it yourself. The only thing you'll hate is are the other rude customers whom talk loudly and/or taking flash photography, ruining the experience. At least you can walk away from these selfish unsophisticated jerks. €14.50 is worth every Euro penny. The entire show lasts under an hour, but you can stay and see it again.

A visual and aural feast in Paris! A digital exhibition/visual and musical production, showcasing the works of Vincent Van Gogh (1853-90). The music, ranging from Tchaikovsky to pop, is simply wonderful. Within the van Gogh exhibit, there is a shorter piece on Japanese art. You can stay as long as you desire, and can stand, sit or laying on the floor, in the 19th-century foundry. We stood on the balcony which I think gives your the best view: walls and floor. The Klimt's Nights is available Aug to Nov, unfortunate for us. Venue: The Atelier des Lumières @ 38 Rue Saint-Maur Ticket: €14.50

I came here w/ friends recently to see the Vincent Van Gogh exhibit. I loved the projection of his work on the walls. Everyone in the room basically had an amazing view, which was great! The only distraction I found was when people were walking around, but I also understood because you could see multiple views on the walls. Worth the visit out to the eastern part of Paris. Pro-tip: buy your tickets online to avoid the wait.

I had the pleasure of coming here for the Van Gogh exhibit, but honestly I wish it was longer than the 30-45 minutes or that there was something more interactive. They displayed most of his notable works on the walls, and it had a hippy trippy effect but that was about it. If you want to come here during your Paris trip, make sure you book tickets well in advance. There's a little gift shop near the exit, some were reasonably priced and some were too expensive. I was happy with the postcards I got for the memories though.

The coolest art exhibit I've ever experienced -- and "experienced" is the key word. You don't view this art, you walk through Klimt and Huntervasser, sit in their art, take it all in, see it on every surface (floor to ceiling). And I hate those artists, but I loved this experience! I captured some videos of the experience, which really don't do it justice, but can give you some flavor: https://youtu.be/IHwCb-5ZSxg https://youtu.be/0_Ak9q8M4nI https://youtu.be/URIaPCsby_U https://youtu.be/YDQY658Dlw0 https://youtu.be/IyXU3O7b71w https://youtu.be/faZwHsoLCro https://youtu.be/Om_NVI50xF8 https://youtu.be/z1skQyAaGz0 https://youtu.be/202VE2Y508g https://youtu.be/ZgzKytVrQdQ https://youtu.be/fHMJjA6LXBo https://youtu.be/Y6IYbkAJNpI https://youtu.be/WciMKkJ4dxo https://youtu.be/utrpsc6cL9Q https://youtu.be/v23qTSGa6gE This Guardian article also captures some of what you can expect: https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2018/jul/26/atelier-des-lumiere-paris-digital-art-museum-klimt

This was a pretty solid experience. I was debating between 4 or 5 stars, but just for a few cons. Tickets are around $15 USD or 14,50 Euro. I ordered tickets online and just had to present it at the door. The exhibit is basically 2 rooms, 1 large (with 1 small upper floor), 1 small. The large one is the one with Starry Night and Dreamed Japan, the small one has Verse. The experience is pretty cool, it's a bit hard to describe. You're basically immersed and surrounded by Van Gogh's paintings that are matched to music. You'll see his art on walls, poles and no two areas really look the same. Personally, I liked Dreamed Japan more than the Van Gogh one. The Van Gogh one is good, but I liked the concept of Dreamed Japan more. I felt it felt more creative and original and the music made more sense. What I didn't like was how there wasn't always enough seating. I also didn't like the music selection for Starry Night very much. I thought it sometimes clashed with the visuals, but that's just a personal opinion. You might want to consider watching the 2 videos at least 2 times so you can see what a different area might have looked like.

Ateliers Lumiere is an immersive art experience set in a warehouse space. Images of artwork are projected on every wall of the space, and many images are animated, bringing the scenes to life all around you.The images and special effects of the exhibits are engaging and there is so much going on that you won't know where to look next. They are currently featuring 3 exhibits: Verse (short for universe), Van Gogh and Japanese art. I came specifically for the Van Gogh exhibit which was fantastic but the Japanese art exhibit was also good. I saw a lot of people siting or standing in one spot the entire time they were they. My recommendation is to walk around, because different images are projected on each wall so if you stay in one place you will miss a lot. You can also walk upstairs to get a bird's eye view. However, if you want to feel like you are a part of it, it is best to walk around downstairs and take it all in around you.

Love love loved this experience. While planning our European trip from the States, decided that this would need to be a stop. It was a little out of the way from our hotel near the Louvre but definitely worth the Uber. Pulled up and looks like any other warehouse in the neighborhood but once inside, it was just so cool. Sitting with everyone in the dark and on the floor - so many people were just in absolute awe. This was my favorite of our entire trip that included the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and even the Louvre.

Simply incredible! A 20 minute delight of music and art. We bought an anytime access ticket, worth the extra money as no waiting in line.

Ever wondered what's it like to enter the world IN a painting? If you're looking for an interactive way to experience the fine arts, Atelier des Lumières is the move. The Van Goh exhibit I attended a year ago (yes, this is a très late review) was phenomenal in transporting me not to his time, but to his emotion. The sequence of pieces is one seamless transition after another of Van Goh's journey of sentiments - accompanied by thoughtfully curated music played in surround sound. In short, it's an uplifting experience that I've no doubt will be replicated with other highlighted artists in future productions. Oh, and the Japanese segment featuring Hokusai's big ol' wave is pretty darn epic too.

This exhibit may very well represent the decline of our civilization and trumpets the erosion of any cultural understanding of the arts. I stormed out angry and ashamed at the nadir the twenty-first century has sunk to. Ostensibly a power point presentation of the art of Vincent Van Gogh, the enterprising I.T. specialists who came up with this banality, project Van Gogh's works on the walls, ceilings, and floor of a dark warehouse while music booms on the loudspeakers. Really, that's it. Nothing more. What is utterly horrific, and an assault on anyone's intellectual sensibilities, is the choice of music. What the hell does Janis Joplin have to do with Vincent Van Gogh? When the tune "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood," made famous by the Animals, was played while the self portrait of Van Gogh was projected on the walls, that was the last banality I could stand. Storming out was the least I could do. The Yellow Vests should be demonstrating against the idiocy of this exhibit. What has happened to my beloved France. Is it now Liberté, égalité, fraternité, abrutie! Atelier des Lumières will be in Las Vegas and Disneyworld before we know it, and the visitors will start calling themselves "patrons of the arts." The developers of this vapidity have the audacity to proclaim the educational value of the Atelier des Lumières. If they wanted this exhibit to bring awareness to its visitors, maybe have some narration describing the meaning of the art being projected or at least describe the historical relevance of Van Gogh's art while the pictures are projected. Perhaps use poetry of the 19th century to enhance the projection, but JANIS JOPLIN SINGING THE BLUES!!!!! Are you absolute morons? I am still shaking with horror at the shallowness of this exhibit. A G7 Summit must convene to stop the continuance of Atelier des Lumières. It is the Hiroshima and Nagasaki of the 21st Century, an eradication of intellectual depth and abstract understanding. It is an abomination, making me angry and sad. Don't turn meaningful art into a DJ light show, with no emotional depth or layers. Atelier des Lumières is no better than the dancing fountains in front of the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. However, those fountains don't demean some of the greatest art of centuries past. Atelier des Lumières - shame on you!

The Parisian version of Teamlab Borderless!. Stayed at Ibis Bastille just for this exhibit. Never again for Ibis but Oui! for the Atelier. Came for Van Gogh but was blown away and enraptured by Japon Reve. The music and images was absolutely magical. It felt like you were in a studio Ghibli film. Heavily influenced by Hokusai and Hiroshige and all the other Ukiyo-e artists. Delightful. Fans of Hokusai will be enthralled. I felt a bit let down by the Van Gogh portion. Sat through 2 viewings. The first sat in the main parlour. For the 2nd, position myself in one of the smaller salles, and it was a different experience. The paintings slightly differed too although music remained the same. For fans of Loving Vincent, you will definitely recognize a lot of the work the Arles period. The opera selection was brilliant though. I won't comment much on Verse as it's not the kind of art I appreciate. Pairing Japon Reves and Van Gogh was ideal. Van Gogh was heavily influenced by the Japanese block print technique and it changed his style after the Paris world fair in the late 1800s. This was discussed at the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam. Am happy I went. However, if you loved Teamlab Borderless, this will be slightly disappointing.

If you love art and the work of Van Gogh, then this is the place for you! I was captured by the way Van Gogh's work was expressed through light and sound. It was truly magical. It highlighted a lot of his famous work such as Starry Night, Café Terrace at Night, Rest from Work, and Sunflowers to name a few. There were two more exhibits afterwards called Dreamed Japan and Verse. Dreamed Japan showcased Samurai lifestyles and daily life in Japan. It was very powerful and full of vibrant colors. Verse was very short and introduced the big bang theory in another perspective which was really cool. The entire exhibition takes about 1 hour. When you enter, you have a choice to sit on the seats provided throughout the exhibit or take a seat on the floor or along the walls. The room is dark so be careful of people sitting on the ground. Enjoy! I sure did!

Visited in late December where there was the Van Gogh exhibit, Dream of Japan exhibit, and an exhibit about space/time shown both in the large room and a longer version in the smaller studio room. It's pretty amazing to watch even though it is just projections on the walls. If you walk around, they have a mirrored room, bridge with water, a room that seems to give more information (e.g. had the actual paintings projected during the Van Gogh segment), and other structures within the large room that can interact differently with the show. Overall, we probably spent about 1.5 or 2 hours here. Because it's all in one room, it doesn't necessarily feel like you're doing much, but it's a unique activity for say, a cold or rainy day and an interesting way to appreciate the art.

So glad my friend told me about this exhibit! #1 tip: definitely reserve tickets online to avoid lines and any trouble getting in. Entrance for non-ticket holders is a bit of a circus -- basically you are at the mercy of the bouncers and floor manager! I didn't have a ticket and was told everything was sold out, try again another day. However, while I tried sorting alternative plans, people started to beg for entrance (e.g. this is my last day in Paris and only opportunity to see the exhibit, etc) and finally they give in and opened the ticket line! You need a minimum of 1 hour to see the three shows, and luckily I managed to barely see all of them. The viewing space is very open with plenty of room, not sure why they need to be so stingy with tickets. Although, I'm sure that being the last viewing played a factor into the crowd size. I saw a few people dozing off, and some even making out -- why not ask these people to leave so truly interested people can come in? People have different approaches as to the best way to experience the exhibit. Some like to plop down in one seat for the entire hour. The images change constantly and can have a difference effect depending on the surface it was reflected on, so I preferred to walk around at times. Currently, there's three works on display Van Gogh, Dreamed Japan and Verse (ordered from longest to shortest). I would have liked to see them a second time, but unfortunately only had 1 hour.

we went back to paris and that was on my top list on to do things !! My son loves one of Van Gogh paintings he even redo it with pealer beads !! we had to book ticket in advance and select a time. it was incredible to see painting coming to life, magical i enjoy every second of it ! picture and video will show more than i can describe !

Located in the eleventh arrondissement of Paris in a former foundry, the Atelier des Lumières holds monumental immersive exhibitions. I was very sorry to have missed the opening one, showing works from one of my favorite painters Gustav Klimt, so this year, it was high on my list of things to do when visiting Paris. I recommend buying tickets online as they sell out and it's the only option offered if you go on weekends anyway. There are currently showing Van Gogh, and even if I am not a huge fan of his work, I really enjoyed the experience. For about 30 minutes, we were showed mural projections of his paintings to a sound track of music using a spatialized sound system. There were a couple other shorter "shows" ("Japon Rêvé" and "Verse") before Van Gogh.The entire visit lasted less than 1 hour 1/2, and it was the perfect length. At times you can feel a little strange trying to walk around with all the lights dancing around you and I wonder if it could trigger migraines or even anxiety attacks in people who suffer from these conditions. There aren't many chairs so people seat on the ground and that's a great way to absorb this multimedia experience, I also recommend going on the mezzanine to get a full view of the place. I love the fact that some families with very little kids really enjoyed it. It was fun to see some children laughing, delighted and surprised trying to catch the lights . It can be used as an introduction and a complement to museums showing the real paintings. I think some artists work better than others being showed in such a way. From pictures I've seen, Klimt seems much better suited than Van Gogh for example, and I personally liked the Japan little exhibit more than the Dutch painter. Still, I totally recommend it!

This is a fabulous and inexpensive exhibit. I love Klimt and this exhibit was the reason I came to Paris for a week. It is a wonderful space in an old shattered factory. Huge digital exhibits on every wall accompanied with beautiful classical music. The only downside were idiots who used the flash on their cameras and phones. It clearly states " do not use flash" and it is better without a flash anyway, but so irritating to see all the flashing going on when you're trying to watch the exhibit. They need to tell people as they enter to check their phones and make sure that the flash is off. I bought my ticket online ahead of time. Many people were outside Looking for tickets as many showings are sold out. It is only about a half hour long and the gifts in the gift shop are amazing.

It was like we were inside the paintings! How can we get this in America? O would see it again and again.

I am so glad I made the time on my recent trip to Paris to go to this exhibit! It was one of the highlights of our trip. I booked my tickets online the week I was there and went on a Sunday at 1pm, With my mobile ticket there was no wait and we were soon experiencing a wonderful immersive art show of the works of Gustav Klimt, Hundertwasser and Egon Scheile. It was an amazing sense of community to be sitting on the floor of a huge warehouse space enjoying beautiful art and music. It is not to be missed and the show has been extended until January 2019.

Let's first get something straight. This is not "high" art. You're not in the Louvre, you're not listening to Bach, and you're not going to give yourself a pat on the back for being a sophisticated patron of the arts if you go here. Is it fun? Hell yes. It seems like the folks behind this place know that they're making kitsch art and they don't seem to care. Why do you need to care? You can be enveloped in the dark room, see beautiful luminescent images on the wall, and listen to music. It's chill, yo, so go and be chilled. Our experience was less so since our toddler was running around with abandonment of all others' personal space and a desire to slam into the images on the wall. Le sigh. Still, we managed to have somewhat of a good time here and are even planning on checking out the one in Provence. Get your cultural bona fides elsewhere and come in here to escape the heat and enjoy something artistically silly yet entertaining. If we were ten years younger, we definitely would have gotten high beforehand, as most of the younguns there seemed. But buy your tickets online first, and in advance.

We read about the Van Gogh Starry Night exhibition in a random article online, and were so glad we decided to check it out during our stopover in Paris. Although we purchased 7pm tickets, we were allowed in 15 minutes early, which I appreciated! They had a free locker room to store our coats, and the event space was so cool! We found seats on the floor up against the wall and watched the Van Gogh program (which was about 25 minutes long, and then a shorter Japanese program and an even shorter third program called Verse. Such cool experiences! It was especially cool to go to this after having visited the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam a few days prior. My only complaint was that people were continuously walking (or children running) around and it sometimes blocked view of the experience, but that's just the nature of the space.

Wow wow wow!!! My son and I came for the Klimt and Huntervasser exhibit and while I'd be lying to say I was familiar with Huntervasser it was really the Klimt I was curious to see and experience, the Huntervasser surprised me in the most INCREDIBLE way! I could have sat in here for HOURS on end. To be completely honest a friend recommended Atelier des Lumières and I had never experienced something quite like this. I was a tad bit apprehensive at first, knowing I wasn't going to view/take in an actual painting or picture of art. The entire experience was nearly lost on me and then I decided I'd purchase tickets and I'm so glad I did. The projection to nearly every last area of space was really something incredible to witness. The music, lighting, atmosphere, crowd... is just the type of interactive art we need more of. If you are on the fence about visiting - truth be told the admission is probably on the higher end compared to many other local museums do not fret you will be amazed. Gorgeous!!!

It was so incredible!! My husband and I aren't huge Van Gogh fans, but we absolutely loved it!! It was easily one of my favorite things I have ever seen. A MUST if you are in Paris. You will not be disappointed. It was about 40 minutes in length (there was a 15 minute Japanese show after). I was in awe the entire time. The music and way the screen kept changing was so cool. We got there at 10:00 (when it first opened) so we got to see it from start to finish. We saw others who who enter the room later, so if they wanted to see the beginning, they could easily stay and watch it. We almost stayed to watch it a 2nd time.

So beautiful. So peaceful. I wish I could have stayed all day. I'm not really an art person, but the experience is so immersive, it caught me. It's just beautiful.

I love that this place is in Paris. This will definitely be one of my stops when I come to a Paris. This time they had a wonderful show: Van Gogh. Beautifully done , mesmerizing. This show is similar to the one in the south of France, Les Baux de Provence, Carrieres les Lumières. Best to get your tickets online.

This place was amazing!! This was one of my favorite experiences during my quick trip to Paris. So the Atelier is converted from a former factory, all the walls and floors are all bare. When I came here, the artist was Gustav Klimt and his art was projected all over the building, ceilings and floors. The presentation was set to music and seemed to present Klimt's art through his different artistic progressions. This was such a visual masterpiece...we were all really blown away. A must see!

Buying tickets online was easy and we breezed past a pretty long line of folks waiting to buy tickets at the venue. The Van Gogh portion was ok - the music and images were nice, but it was a bit long without any additional visual interest (i.e., they could have made it more interesting by having more movement in the paintings like in the Japan portion). The Japan portion was pretty spectacular, from the lanterns, animals, and other images. The last portion regarding space was pretty short and the music really made an impression. I would recommend going upstairs for at least some of the Japan portion because you can take pictures in front of the images without bothering people.

This is most amazing and least expensive adventure in Paris today. Tickets available online and the best way to avoid lines. The projected images with stunning music all takes place in an old smelting factory. Be prepared to stand or sit on the floor or just walk around. A camera paradise! The show covers more than just Klimt. Take a break between sequences in the Studio/Bar for a seat with a café or soft drink. The show in here is quite modern and you can sit at a table.

This place is amazing. Get your ticket in advance if you can. The 3d effect is fantastic. The music goes really well with the different painting. First time here and I really enjoy every seconds of it.

I really was looking forward to the Gustav Klimt show while in Paris, but the ticket ordering on their website while on a good connection with iPhone would not allow me to get through to payment on their website, even after three attempts. We showed up hoping to be able to purchase on site, but the day was sold out and one of the two security guys out front informed me ( and I speak French) that I could not buy tickets there and had to go online for the next available day. Was not helpful. I tried to inquire more via the email that they sent me to confirm that I had registered to their website, but only came back with a we-cannot-find-any-record-of-you bot response. I know this is a good show, but won't get live people to help you if you have an issue.

This is a Don't Miss if you are in Paris!!! Purchase tickets online. Many days are already sold out. I believe tickets for weekends are on-line only. Van Gogh's "La Nuit Etôilee" runs from February 22-December 31, 2019. I saw a similar digital Van Gogh exhibit in Brussels and this was sooo much better. This is a digital multi-media sound and light show where fifty of Van Gogh's masterpieces are projected on interior walls, floors, and structures. The projections move, change, and fade into on another. Some of the famous painted become a little animated. The music ranges from opera to Janis Joplin. "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" was played after a sequence showing Van Gogh's mental deterioration which added resonance to his paintings and the show. I also enjoyed the two additional shows "Dreamed Japan" and "Verse" with the sea life and Japanese paintings. You can either walk around or sit. Most people I know sat and watched the presentation twice. I moved to a different spot for a different perspective. There is also an app Van Gogh Starry Night that detail the descriptions of the major works. The museum asks that people turn off their flash feature on their phones and cameras out of consideration for others. This is new museum and they have a nice gift shop. Normal ticket price is €14.50. Truly wonderful!! www.atelier-lumieres.com

A waste of time, on my opinion. For the Van Gogh part of the show, the music just didn't fit or the choices were just bizarre. Example: the St. Remy hospital scenes were accompanied by French pop at its worst - a singer wailing "I'm just a soul whose intentions are good..." Don't waste your time or money.

I have never had a museum or art experience like this. I was amazed. I love the mix of art and music. I would definitely recommend having this experience!

Mesmerizing! I admit I was not very excited to be going here. I really wanted to do more outdoor activities, so another indoor thing just didn't sound all that good to me. Only moments after entering, I realized how wrong I was. For nearly two hours, I was mesmerized. What I thought would be a bore turned out to be a highlight.

Loved this view of Van Gogh art pieces. Make sure you book ahead online. The over the top and massive art was projected on all walls and music was perfectly match. Wow....this is not to be missed if you are in Paris.

Really, really cool exhibit, and not on the standard list of must-see in Paris (so not nearly as crowded). Exhibit takes a little over an hour, so easy to combine with other activities. As with many other sights in Paris, buy your tickets online in advance - timed entry tickets will allow you to skip the line (well worth the extra marginal cost)

I seriously thought this the single coolest thing we saw during our recent week long trip to Paris. Off the beaten path a bit, make the effort to get there. I can honestly say I have never seen anything so instantly immersive and moving in my life. I recommend you buy tickets online and try to go during off hours when fewer people are there, just so you can take in the music and projections with fewer distractions. Do NOT miss this!

Not impressed with customer service. I bought tickets a month in advance and had to cancel my trip to Paris all together. Atelier-Lumieres would not offer a refund or voucher for future trip and were not easy to deal with or accommodating. Buyer beware for anyone thinking about going.
