Until May 3rd 2009 at Palais de la Découverte
Odours surround us. They have the power to conjure up childhood memories with astonishing precision and intensity. Smells and our sense of smell are central to our awareness of our surroundings but are often relegated to a secondary role. The exhibition « Né pour sentir » (Born with a sense of smell) offers visitors an opportunity to rediscover their sense of smell by following their noses along an enjoyable route through no fewer than 90 different fragrances. A special young children’s corner « Nouveaux nez » (New noses) has been designed for the 3 to 6 age group.
