If you drive past the huge steel ball "La Géode" here in the Parc de la Villette, in which the entire environment is reflected, you might think that it is "not much more" than a really extraordinary art object. Far from it: Inside the steel ball there is an IMAX cinema with over 400 seats and a 1000 square meter screen. But the view of the sphere from outside is certainly one of the most impressive views in Paris.

La Géode is not only an extraordinary piece of art, a dome where you can see the Parc de la Villette and the Canal de l'Ourcq reflected in an unusual way. It is also an IMAX movie theater, where documentaries related to nature and music or dance performances are often screened.
Inaugurated on May 6, 1985, the building was designed by architect Adrien Fainsilber and engineer Gérard Chamayou.
