CARRIÈRES DE LUMIÈRES
Go there and contact
An astonishing, grandiose, disconcerting place. The sound and light shows that take place there are simply magical.
Unique multimedia shows in a magical setting! Welcome to Les Carrières de Lumières in Les Baux-de-Provence, in the heart of the Alpilles. Conceived and managed by the Culturespaces Foundation, the leading private cultural player behind numerous monuments and museums in France, the Carrières de Lumières offer an immersive, sensory experience to discover the works of famous artists in a whole new way.
But what exactly is an immersive experience? It's a revolution in the art world! Thanks to AMIEX® technology, thousands of images of digitized works of art are projected in very high resolution onto huge surfaces, and set in motion to the rhythm of the music to unfold a poetic scenario. The idea is to dematerialize the work of art and make it one's own. Each exhibition is conceived in complete and perfect harmony with the place where it takes place. The 6,000 m2 of the quarries vibrate to the rhythm of the images and, above all, the sound, which can be triggered remotely and follow visitors as they wander. By early 2024, the show will be breathtaking: the Dutch masters, from Vermeer to Van Gogh. The site also features a bookshop-boutique, open daily, with a wide selection of books. There's a wide selection of postcards, decorative objects, textiles and more. To introduce children to art, a range of creative hobbies is available. A place not to be missed!

Passé l'entrée de cet espace et vous voilà déboussolé par ce cadre atypique que le grand public connait peu ou pas.
Sur les grandes parois des carrières, les oeuvres d'artistes tels que Van Gogh, Chagall, Picasso,...sont projetées en musique. Des tableaux animés, qui vous permettent de découvrir ou redécouvrir les oeuvres de ces grands artistes.
Très bonne alternative aux musées plus traditionnels, cette expérience est accessibles tant aux adultes qu'aux enfants.
Trois conseils avant votre visite :
- pensez à réserver votre billet en avance afin de ne pas faire la queue (qui peut être assez longue en été)
- prenez avec vous un pull ou une veste, car les carrières sont fraiches
- places de parking peu nombreuses donc arrivez plutôt en début de journée,
le billet couplé avec le château vaut vraiment de coup.
