The Mystery of the Rings: a virtual reality adventure at the Cité de l'Océan

Dive into a scientific and immersive adventure with « The Mystery of the Rings », a virtual reality experience at the Cité de l'Océan in Biarritz.

Discover the incredible story of the stone rings found off the coast of Corsica, at a depth of 120 meters. For years, these mysterious structures fueled the wildest theories: war relics, paranormal phenomena, or simply natural formations?

Thanks to the Gombessa 6 expedition, led by marine biologist Laurent Ballesta, the answer is finally known: it is an exceptional natural phenomenon dating back 21,000 years, when the sea level was 110 meters lower. These rocky reefs, colonized by calcareous algae, formed crowns of life that became true oases of underwater biodiversity.

This virtual reality experience takes you to the heart of this scientific discovery, for a total immersion in the marine depths and the geological history of our planet. An educational and spectacular adventure, ideal for both young and old, not to be missed!

A breathtaking exhibition where science and technology come together to reveal the secrets of the oceans.
