Fabrique des Lumières is not a museum. The "immersive ecperiences" shown are a great experience. You don't have to enter very precisely at the ordered time, because the show is continuous. You can stay as long as you want after entering. There are no lines with long waits.

Easy to book. Must-do cruise (very happy to have booked in advance as it was very sunny and there would have been a big queue if we had booked on the day). Moco: interesting collection, again very busy so glad to have tickets booked.
