Presentation

In the heart of a heritage site that is a silent witness to important historical events, the town of Vincennes, in collaboration with AV Extended, presents "Château de lumières". This grandiose experience, combining historical video-mapping and an immersive exhibition, is an invitation to take a sensory journey that interweaves past, present and future.

By illuminating this emblematic site over 12 exceptional evenings, visitors will be invited to explore the illuminated works designed to revive the historical memory of Vincennes through a gripping narrative.

Historical video-mapping and immersive exhibition

As visitors enter the castle, they will be greeted by 18 monumental works of art.

This walk along a luminous path offers an initial immersion, guiding the public along a route where each installation tells a story.

The visit continues with a video-mapping designed by AV Extended, transforming the evening into a dreamlike experience that retraces over a thousand years of history. The voice of André Manoukian and the melodies of Arnaud Corbellari - Ena Eno will take visitors on a journey through time, reviving the echoes of royal footsteps in the Sainte-Chapelle, the secrets whispered in the keep, and the battles that shaped the destiny of France.
