Aperçu

Enter into the backstage of the very high voltage!

We need electricity everywhere, all the time: to work, take care of oneself, eat, get information... Ensuring that at every second, the power goes through, at the lowest cost, in complete safety and respect for the environment, this is our mission. We are RTE, the manager of the Electricity Transmission Network. Our job? Transport electricity at high and very high voltages, adjust production and consumption in real time, ensure energy solidarity between regions in France and in Europe. Have you ever wondered how electricity gets to your socket? Like nerve impulses make a heart beat, the electricity that flows through our network makes the economy beat. It powers hospitals, lights cities and keeps industry running. In a world in transition, we act every day for a sober, more resilient and more sustainable electrical system. We are here, 24/7, so that, whatever happens, the connection goes through. Want to see all this more closely?

• Come and live a unique experience in the heart of an active electrical substation, guided by the women and men who work every day for the reliability of the network.
• Come and discover the behind-the-scenes of very high voltage.
• Come meet those who make electricity available, in all discretion. A visit open to all, young and old. A stand dedicated to the youngest will allow them to discover the universe of electricity while having fun.
