Centre Sega was a Sega-themed indoor arcade opened in Paris in April 1995. It was the prominent piece of the La Tête Dans Les Nuages entertainment facility, which also included a McDonald's, a bowling alley, and a branch of the video games retailer, MicroMania.
In its original incarnation, La Tête Dans Les Nuages was partly-owned by Formula One driver Alain Prost (who was there on the opening night), and four others, including Philippe Gimond and Didier Calmels. This Paris venue was the second to be opened by the company in charge, but after filing for bankruptcy in March 1999, the original venue closed and this one was acquired by new owners.
The Centre Sega section was removed within a couple of years and thus stopped becoming an official Sega arcade, however it continues to operate under the La Tête Dans Les Nuages name to this day.
