Interview Eric Dourte

How do visitors react?
Their reactions are always positive, especially since the hall opened again. Most people have known the hall before, and they are enchanted to see how beautiful and imaginative it is now.

What is the public’s favourite?
Tyrannosaurus rex is the unrivalled star among the dinosaurs. I daresay it owes its success to the fact it is better known and more easily recognizable than the other dinosaurs in the hall. However, a challenger has made its way into the renovated hall: particularly our youngest visitors appreciate the interactive pachycephasolaurus.

Children seem attracted to the ‘evil’ ones. Aren’t they afraid?
Not at all! On the contrary, they can hardly wait to meet ALL the dinosaurs and they are overjoyed when they leave the hall.
