The Panorama is a huge round building that houses the canvas created in 1912 by Louis Dumoulin, painter whose Panorama of the World tour was presented at the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris.

Its exceptional dimensions and sound system allow for total immersion in the heart of the battle. You are surrounded on all sides by battle scenes, sounds of sabers, cavalry charges and cannon fire.

This panorama is a remarkable historical heritage, as it is one of the few that still survives.
