Outdoor Urban Circuit
Inspired by the sound walks of Manhattan and Paris, Boréalis presents an innovative urban circuit: First shift! First shift lets you discover the first work shift of an employee of the CIP; once the biggest paper mill in the world.

 

Filled with rich soundscapes and testimonies, this immersive tour depicts the history of the mill and the area around it, enhanced with anecdotes and archival photos. The circuit is free to visit all year, from the outdoor terminal. A smart phone is required to use the outdoor terminal. A smart phone may also be loaned by the museum during opening hours.
