Carrières de Lumière
The limestone quarry acquired its current function in the 1960s, thanks to the visionary genius of Jean Cocteau who, enthralled by the beauty of the place and its surroundings, decided to shoot the film « Le Testament d'Orphée » there.
Carrières de Lumières – a unique location at the heart of the Alpilles
The limestone quarry acquired its current function in the 1960s, thanks to the visionary genius of Jean Cocteau who, enthralled by the beauty of the place and its surroundings, decided to shoot the film « Le Testament d'Orphée » there. Since then, the monumental Carrières de Lumières at the heart of the Alpilles has been the venue for unique multimedia shows. Every year a new previously unseen show is presented, featuring the greatest names in the history of art.
