Carrières de Lumières 2022 Take a Journey to Italy

Guest Post · Inspire · What's On Provence & Cote d'Azur

This year at Carrières de Lumières in Les Baux de Provence Venise la Serenissima will whisk us to the Grand Canal, over little bridges and through the shady walkways between beautiful buildings and churches. The 45-minute image and music show will immerse visitors in Byzantine art and the golden mosaics of Saint Mark’s Basilica, as well as focusing on the masterpieces of Tintoretto, Bellini and Canaletto. The usual short film (12 minutes) will contrast with Yves Klein’s work.

Carrières de Lumières Visitor Tips

The 2022 show runs from March 4 to January 2, 2023. Buy your tickets online.

The projection typically lasts roughly 45 minutes and repeats a loop throughout the day. Once you have paid the entry fee, you can stay and watch the loop a few times. However, with COVID-19 restrictions, your visit may be limited.

Carrières de Lumières is the largest fixed multimedia installation in France. The 14-metre-high walls are the backdrop 70 video projectors use to broadcast images.

However, parking can be challenging, so the best times to visit Carrières de Lumières are early morning or late afternoon.

The show is suitable for anyone with mobility issues, as there are few stairs and wheelchair (or baby pram) ramps where necessary.

Inside the quarry, the temperature is consistently cool, which is fabulous on a hot summer day. However, it can feel cold, so it is best to bring a sweater or coverup.

Buy your tickets online to avoid the lineup. You can also purchase a combination ticket that allows access to the Château des Baux-de-Provence.

There is a small café on-site for a drink or light snack.

Open daily:
January, March, November and December: 10h-18h
April, May, June, September and October: 9h30-19h
July and August: 9h30-19h30
The last entry is one (1) hour before closing
Covid-19 protocols are in place – social distancing and masks are required.
