Carrières de Lumières
Carrières de Lumières Review
The Carrières de Lumières is a vast old bauxite quarry in the Val d'Enfer, with 66-foot-high stone walls that makes a dramatic setting for a multimedia show in which thousands of images are projected onto the walls. Exhibitions change periodically, but recent showings have showcased the life and work of Vincent van Gogh.
