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!

Un site exceptionnel où les projections des peintures de Picasso et des grands peintres espagnols sont magnifiés par les roches de la carrière et l'ambiance musicale. Nous y sommes restés un long moment sans vouloir partir tellement nous étions bien dans cette ambiance artistique hors du commun. Un site à voir absolument.

Contrairement à l'intitulé des manifestations, les carrières de lumières ne sont pas un lieu pour voir de la peinture mais de la lumière. Les parois des carrières sont écrans de projections utilisant les peintures des maitres comme sujet.

Un site à découvrir absolument ! je souhaitais venir depuis longtemps et j'ai été ravie de découvrir ce site. l'exposition 2018 picasso et les peintres espagnols est magnifique. Pass 18 euros avec le chateau des baux. Vous avez largement le temps de faire les deux visites dans la journée. garder la visite des carrières pour les heures les plus chaudes !

Très original ! un lieu hors du commun même pour les personnes peu sensibles à l'art. Prévoir de s'habiller un peu plus chaudement car à l'intérieur des carrières, l'air est frais

Une féerie due au savoir faire des italiens qui dominent le sujet. La planitude des parois ajoutent à la magie des images animées qui trouvent là un support insolite . Le public est conquis , il en a eu pour son argent (12 euros), mais, à la différence des musées, il n'a absolument rien appris dans cette débauche d'images sublimes envoyés au rythme de musiques subtilement choisies mais ce, sans aucun support didactique.
