Planétarium de Saint-Etienne

"What's that weird dome over there? Shall we take a look?" It's not just a glance at the Planetarium of Saint-Étienne, we embark on a journey through space and time to discover the Universe, not to be missed!
Located on the historic site of Manufrance on the Cours Fauriel, the Planetarium of Saint-Étienne reveals the secrets of the Universe. Since its creation, it has always innovated to offer everyone a total 360 degree immersion under its dome of more than 200 square meters.
In 2003, it was the first digital planetarium in France, then in 2012 it was one of the first in the world to offer 3D.
In 2021 with a brand new 3D projection system offering an image 6 times more beautiful, your Earthling and Astronaut experience will be even more striking and spectacular!
He directs and produces films which are shown in numerous planetariums around the world.
And that, without forgetting its boutique and the exhibitions presented in the hall. Between innovation and dynamism, the Planetarium will never cease to amaze us with its varied films for all audiences and its presentations of the sky aboard this fabulous spaceship!
