About Carriere de Lumieres des Baux.
Add to favoritesThe Carrières des Lumières: A Cathedral of Images in the Heart of the Val d'Enfer Located at the foot of the medieval village of Les Baux-de-Provence, the Carrières des Lumières offer a unique immersive experience. In these gigantic galleries of white limestone, 14 meters high, masterpieces by the greatest painters (Monet, Picasso, Van Gogh, etc.) are projected onto 7,000 m² of rock walls, creating a ballet of colors and music that transports visitors to another dimension. This mystical place also possesses a profound cinematic soul. Long before becoming a digital art center, the spectacular verticality of these caves fascinated filmmakers. Jean Cocteau filmed his dreamlike masterpiece, The Testament of Orpheus, here in 1959. While Jean-Paul Belmondo's panache has left its mark on many historical sites, the spirit of "Bébel"—that of adventure cinema and physical performance—resonates here through this audacious transformation of an industrial site into a theater of action and emotion. Between its constant freshness and total visual immersion, a visit to the Quarries is a veritable sensory cascade, unforgettable for lovers of art and spectacle.
Tip for an even more exceptional visit.
Practical tip: Don't forget your light jacket, because even in the middle of a Provençal summer, the indoor temperature remains constant around 14-16°C!
