What if you put on a secret agent costume? Not that of James Bond, not that of a real French secret agent. The City of Science and Industry in Paris offers, from Tuesday and until August 10, 2020, an immersive exhibition "Espions", of which Europe 1 is a partner. For the first time, the six French secret services agreed to collaborate in this event.
"You are an intelligence officer, we need you and we count on you!" Upon arrival, the visitor is invited to conduct the investigation of a mysterious nuclear test conducted by a foreign power. From the interrogation room to the control screen to supervise a spinning, this very playful exhibition offers a dozen steps, during which you take turns the role of filocheur, analyst or cryptographer. And the immersion is all the more successful as the sets were made by the team of the Bureau des légendes , the Canal + series.
New testimonials
Above all, this exhibition is dotted with video kiosks where the testimonies of 14 real French secret agents take place. Officers brought, for example, to watch people on the street. "For us, it was important not to be only in the plausible, but also to make the link with reality," Laurence Caunezil, one of the curators of the exhibition, told Europe 1.
Leaving the exhibition, we bet that you will have only one desire: to pass the contest to become a secret agent!
