The Celestins theatre #FDL2017
Patrice Warrener is one of the artists who gave his letters of nobility to the Festival of Lights. He invented the “chromolite” technique, which makes it possible to highlight the architectural details of a building.
The Grand Hotel Dieu - Lyon Festival of Lights 2017
The Grand Hotel Dieu is taking on a whole lot of colour.
The long facade of Lyon’s oldest hospital (from 11th century) is illuminated from 4 to 29 December.
You must go to the quay opposite, on the other side of the Rhone, to discover this classic monument of Lyon, currently under construction to become a hotel and a centre of art de vivre.
Lighting designer Daniel Knipper and artist Laurent Langlois traced the history of the building (which used to a hospital and abbey) to aid their illumination.
