A newer edition to the city's cultural landscape, this aptly named 'Light Workshop' for the City of Light, draws you into an immersive art experience. Housed in a cavernous building in the trendy 11th arrondissement, once you step through the black doors, you enter into not just the chosen artist's world, but his/her imagination, too. Digitally projected images from the artist's repertoire and life are projected on all walls, the floor and the ceiling, creating a swirling light show all around you.
It is a sort of Sound & Light show 2.0...but the immersive experience, the sound of music and narrative that accompanies the spectacle and the overall sensory stimulation makes this better than going to the movies. It's also a great family activity.

- Romantic Things to Do: "This is an all-ages activity. Many of the spectators walk around the floor space and then find themselves a spot to just sit back, gaze around and take it all in. The spectacle lasts about an hour, give or take, but you can stay as long as you like if you want to catch it on repeat."
- Best for Romantic Things to Do Because: An instant hit in the City of Light, this art-come-alive show by Culturespace draws spectators in and keeps them enthralled for the duration.
