The visit takes place in group of up to 5 people accompanied by a guide.
While having a ticket is strongly recommended, a queue is available for walk-in visitors, and access may be offered depending on availability and no-shows. As the number of Spectacles glasses is limited, we cannot guarantee entry for unregistered visitors.
Available walk-in time slots are unpredictable, as they depend on cancellations from other participants.

No, this experience is limited to one registration per person in order to give as many visitors as possible the chance to enjoy it.
La Caverne du Pont Neuf is a monumental installation by the artist JR celebrating the 40th anniversary of Christo’s wrapping of the Pont Neuf. This immersive structure transforms Paris’s oldest bridge into a 120-meter-long mineral cave. Equipped with Spectacles, visitors can discover an augmented reality artwork where the walls come to life to the rhythm of a sound creation by Thomas Bangalter. It is a free, multisensory experience that sits at the intersection of historical art and futuristic technology.
Whereas the classic visit is a simple walk-through, the experience with Specs overlays interactive 3D animations onto JR’s structure. Thanks to augmented reality and spatialized sound, the artwork comes to life all around you, transforming a simple walk across the bridge into a fully immersive, multisensory digital experience that is entirely new and unique.
The full immersive experience with the Spectacles lasts about 20 minutes. However, including check-in, equipment setup, and free wandering through the structure, you should allow approximately 45 to 60 minutes in total on site.
No, this experience offered by Specs is completely free.
Yes, in French and English.
No, the experience with Specs is only open during specific opening hours and requires a ticket for a specific time slot.
No, it is not required to have a Snapchat account to experience it, but having one will allow you to more easily save and share the memories captured during the visit.

Yes ! The Spectacles can be adjusted to your prescription.
Each person will be assigned a pair of glasses. They are cleaned after each visit.
The use of augmented reality (AR) glasses requires caution for people sensitive to visual stimuli or motion. If you are particularly sensitive to this, it is not recommended to take part in this experience. If in doubt, please seek medical advice.
To ensure the safety of the structure and the smooth flow of the experience, the following items are prohibited: large bags and suitcases (no storage available on site), sharp or piercing objects, and food and drinks. Scooters, bicycles, and animals (except guide dogs) are not allowed. The area is strictly non-smoking.
No, there is no cloakroom available on site. As the Pont Neuf is a public space and the cave structure is temporary, there is no secure area to store personal belongings.
The reception is located in the middle of the Pont Neuf, near the statue of Henri IV. Signage will be in place to help you find your way.
The visit is generally maintained in case of bad weather, as the experience takes place indoors. However, in the event of strong winds exceeding 60 km/h or severe weather conditions, the visit may be cancelled for safety reasons.
If there are cancellations in later time slots, you may still be able to take part in the experience. However, since capacity is very limited, we cannot guarantee that this will be possible.
We would like to inform you that each person attending the experience, including children, must have a ticket. The exhibition is open to everyone, but the use of Spectacles glasses is recommended for children over 13 years old. Minors under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
Yes, absolutely. A specific welcome is provided for PRM visitors, and the route inside the cave is the same for everyone.
