Chartres’s cathedral and churches become luminous surfaces in Chartres en lumières. The city’s free illumination programme also reaches the museum, theatre, bridges and washhouses, carrying the route from prominent monuments towards the Eure. Stories and imagined worlds play across the buildings, creating a different way to read the relationship between the upper town and its waterside heritage.
Chartres en lumières: Monuments Retold in Light
Chartres en lumières transforms the cathedral, bridges, washhouses and other monuments through illuminated scenes that draw stories from the city.
