Best places: Science museums in France

👍 It's hard to rate this place because you have to distinguish between the cave itself, which is amazing, and the organization of the visit, which is catastrophic. The reconstructed grotto is simply phenomenal and the automated audio guide is excellent. We had a 18h30 entry. They were running late so...

Displays on the history of books & printing within a 15th-century mansion, including engravings.

Science center & planetarium in a modern building, offering events & lectures with a family focus.

🫤 Not worth visiting. The museum deals about the daily life of Louis Pasteur, which is just as uninteristering as anybody elses daily life. A total lack of information about his scientific discoveries. Definitely not a scientific museum.

Museum with artifacts from the Roman era to 7th century, plus zoology, botany & pharmacy exhibits.

Family museum with interactive science experiments on energy, illusions, climate & movement.

👍 We learnt about this place when we bought the French Riviera pass. An unique experience especially for my 6 year old daughter. The staff were very helpful, they went above and beyond to ensure we feel comfortable watching the stars using different types of telescopes.

Science museum in an old warehouse, with permanent & temporary exhibitions, a "living lab" & cafe.
