An immersive experience at the heart of history

Discover the history of the Canal du Midi with Pierre Paul Riquet as your guide.

---

Hypnésia is developing a new virtual reality cultural experience dedicated to the history of the Canal du Midi, which was known as the Canal Royal when it was built in the 17th century.

Guided by Pierre-Paul Riquet, visitors explore the major milestones of this adventure: the canal’s design, how the locks work, the water supply from the Montagne Noire, major construction projects, and the Malpas Tunnel.

Thanks to virtual reality, plans, models, and landscapes come to life all around the audience. This immersive experience is designed to make this historic and technical feat accessible, spectacular, and vivid.
