About

Epicenter, located in Lourdes, is an awareness-raising center dedicated to the understanding of seisms and their effects. This small structure is the only one of its kind in France. During your visit, you will be able to use several interactive models illustrating the effects of earthquakes on buildings, observe seismometers and their live recordings, as well as feel a seism of your choice on a simulator, with virtual reality. Although the admission is free, guided visits can be booked for 5 € per person. The visits are guided in French, English or Spanish by a scientific mediator. Review our website for more info!
