A city tracing the history of telecommunications, including the inventions of the founding fathers and recent innovations.

You will see from far the huge white ball of 50 m high. Called the Radome, it houses a gigantic "horn antenna" weighing 340 tons, classified as a historical monument: it is indeed thanks to it that, on July 11, 1962, the first television images broadcast live from the United States could be picked up in France, by satellite. Opened in 1991, completely renovated in 2019, the adjoining museum traces the history of telecommunications: the inventions of the founding fathers, the epic of cable ships ..., until the most recent innovations in digital technology. The explanations are sometimes technical, but punctuated with interactive tools, which make the visit fun: you can replay great moments in the history of television transmission, test rotary dial telephones, listen to the stories of the "telephone ladies"... Don't miss, at the end, the collection of historical telephones: some will surprise you or bring back old memories. In addition to this dense permanent exhibition, there is a temporary exhibition and a science garden, a space for experiments for 6-12 year olds, as well as outdoor games on telegraphy or geolocation and various activities (guided tours, 3D discovery workshop...). As for the Radome, it hosts an immersive show of about 15 minutes, which will make you relive the final moments that preceded the first world vision of 1962. An unusual and instructive place, particularly welcome on rainy days.

Musée très intéressant
Nous sommes allés dans ce musée avec notre fille de 4 ans et tout le monde s'est bien amusé. IL y a une pleins d'expériences à faire, d'objets à toucher ou à regarder.
On y a passé l'après midi.

A visiter
Le radôme est un lieu fabuleux, unique à visiter. Il vous faut 3 bonnes heurs pour découvrir les avancées technologiques de la communication et pour revivre l'expérience des débuts de la télédiffusion par satellite.

La cité des télécoms est un cite très ludique pour les enfants, et les grands enfants .
Nous avons eu la chance d'y aller au moment de l'expo temporaire sur les illusions d'optiques, et les enfants se sont amusés comme des petits fous.
Ils ont pu aussi présenter la météo comme à la télé, enfin bref, pour le tarif, et tout ce qu'il y a à découvrir, nous y avons passé toute l'après midi

Partie sans opinion favorable, la cité m'a emballée. Trés ludique, passionnante à tout âge. Prévoir du temps.
