Brain Week returns to Paris and the rest of France for its 27th edition, from March 11 to 16, 2025! And as usual, the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie is mobilizing to bring knowledge to as many people as possible, especially children. For the occasion, numerous events, shows and conferences accessible to all are planned, for the price of an admission ticket, to raise public awareness of our organ, so important to our daily lives.
What are the different types of nap? What are the benefits for the body? Come and find out as we observe the starry sky. Immersed in a sound ambiance, you'll be invited to a collective siesta under the stars. A unique moment of relaxation...
