    Walking within a gigantic painting that comes to life before your eyes, all to music. This is what the Carrières de Lumières offers. A unique and poetic experience

    The gigantic cave that remained after the bauxite mining was converted into a visual and acoustic delight. Highly recommended. Admission currently €14.50.

    An incredibly amazing experience that I highly recommend to everyone. At €16.50, it's not exactly cheap, but it's definitely worth it. In a huge cave, images and illuminations are projected onto the walls for about an hour, accompanied by music. 🤩🤩
