the Center for Information, Research, and Consultation on Exceptional Experiences (CIRCEE) is a network of university researchers and clinicians specializing in the study of so-called paranormal phenomena. It develops several research axes and offers a consultation service to better understand the nature of these unusual experiences. Unique in France, CIRCEE adopts an approach that is both open and rigorous towards exceptional experiences. It supports individuals struggling with these experiences and contributes to advancing research. Its goal is also to better inform the public about these still little-known phenomena, which are often subject to prejudice.

Unique en France, le CIRCEE adopte une approche à la fois ouverte et rigoureuse vis-à-vis des expériences exceptionnelles. Il accompagne les personnes en difficulté face à ces vécus et contribue à faire progresser la recherche. Son objectif est également de mieux informer le public sur ces phénomènes encore méconnus et souvent sujets à des préjugés.
