This experience will be available from 2025 in France and Belgium. Through this production, the Sandora Studio invites visitors to relive the key moments in the Emperor's Life, from his victories to his exile, in an interactive reconstruction.

On the occasion of the 220th anniversary of the coronation of Napoleon, Sandora VR offers an immersive virtual reality experience at the heart of the emperor's life, from the major battlefields of his career to his exile on the island of Saint-Helene.

“Napoleon, The Immersive Epic” is experienced by moving in an enclosed space. The activity thus takes place in a room of only 60 m². Up to ten people simultaneously share it.

It's the first project from Sandora, a Paris-based company founded in 2024 that aims to create immersive experiences with a cultural emphasis. Here, it has worked with a committee of historians to make sure its product is accurate.
