The exhibition features more than 500 original objects: costumes, gadgets, decoration tips. The Ursula Andress bikini Dr No (1962) holster leather suit and Yves Saint Laurent Naomie Harris / Moneypenny Spectrum (2015). Through the pistol gold Christopher Lee (1974), white tuxedo Roger Moore and metal teeth of Richard Kiel, aka Shark The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). Or tubes of explosive toothpaste, packets of cigarettes detonators, the flamethrower bagpipes and poisoned punches shoes invented by Q in the 1960s but presented to 007 during the visit of his “amateur practice” in Die another day (2002) …

This retrospective has since traveled around the world, stopping in Toronto, Shanghai, Melbourne, Madrid and Mexico City.
We find in Paris, besides the technological accessories of the secret agent, part of her impressive wardrobe. But not hurt vehicles. Fans of big guns will welcome back one of the copies of the Aston Martin DB 5 which conveys the hero from the beginning. But the newer model (DB10 which has superseded in later episodes) and the model of the Lotus Esprit L ‘Spy Who Loved Me .
