Video: see how Barco helps delight the senses at La Cité du Vin
Posted on Monday, September 26, 2016

Love a glass of wine? If so – and even if not – La Cité du Vin in Bordeaux should be on your bucket list! Located in a truly iconic building in Bordeaux, this experience center takes you on an amazing journey through the worlds of wine and culture. We love it, and not just because it features 49 Barco F-series projectors and Medialon solutions (we’re proud about it, though) …

Fly a helicopter or rather dine with historical figures?
“We wanted La Cité du Vin to be a unique place with a focus on emotions, sensations and imagination,” explained museum director Philippe Massol. He has definitely succeeded in his plan. Fly over the world’s winemaking regions in a helicopter? Step on board a merchant ship? Sit down to a banquet in the company of historical figures? These are just three of the amazing experiences you can enjoy at La Cité du Vin. 

49 Barco F-series projectors + Medialon solutions
AV systems integrator VIDELIO-IEC identified Barco projectors as the ideal solution to ensure real, lifelike images in every set-up: “The Barco portfolio is so comprehensive that we found all the right solutions to meet the needs of the scenographer, as well as the strict technical requirements. For each installation, we selected the projector that best fits the needs of the application. In total, 49 Barco projectors are used.” 

In addition, Barco company Medialon supports the technical team in supervising, controlling and scheduling the functions of all the AV equipment – around 500 devices in all – featured in the many exhibits, from one, central location.

The result? “Visitors are absolutely in awe,” said Massol. Watch the video to see what they’re so excited about, read the full customer story and, why not, plan a trip to Bordeaux soon?
