Lieu d’Europe
The Information Centre on European Institutions (CIIE) has been located within the Lieu d’Europe in Strasbourg since 2014.
As a place of education for European citizenship open to all, the vocation of the Lieu d’Europe is to make Europe known to its citizens and to strengthen the feeling of belonging within a community of values.
Endowed with a permanent exhibition, resource centre coordinated by the Information Centre on European Institutions, and meeting and discussion rooms, the Lieu d’Europe’s mission is to:
- Inform the general public on European institutions, European affairs, the history of Europe and its close links with the history of Strasbourg
- Promote establishment of European citizenship and encourage exchanges of ideas and debate,
- Bring citizens closer to European institutions,
- Explain and share values of democracy, peace, and human rights,
- Make the wealth and cultural diversity of the different European countries known to all.
The Lieu d’Europe is open to all local residents of Strasbourg as well as tourists, young and old, school-children and families. An activities programme proposes exchanges of ideas, debates and meetings with personalities, film-shows, cultural events, convivial moments, etc. on themes related to European topics.
The Lieu d’Europe is also very happy to welcome events organized by associations linked with a European vocation or its missions.
A Permanent Exhibition
The permanent exhibition showcases the history of European integration, the role and functioning of its institutions, and highlights Strasbourg’s position as the “European capital,” home to the European Parliament and the Council of Europe.
The exhibition features a range of maps and interactive multimedia installations that encourage participation and invite you to test your knowledge. All texts are presented in three languages: French, English, and German.
The exhibition is equipped with specific accommodations for visitors with disabilities, including wheelchair access, tactile maps, and subtitles for audiovisual content.
