LA NUIT DES CHIMERES

General description

The Plantagenet city is unveiled via an open stroll staged by Skerzò. Designed as a freely-walked circuit, this route is made up of visual and acoustic creations and image shows that come to life after nightfall.

The chevet (gothic) of Saint-Julian's cathedral : Between Angels and Demons (15 min)
The fountain staircase : Dawn of the Chimeras (15 min)
The cathedral porch (romanesque) : Celestial Concert of Angel Musicians (10 min)
The Pans-de-Gorron wall : Labyrinth of the Chimeras (20 min)
The Saint-Hilaire wall : The Mask and the Dragon (20 min)
The academy garden : The Banquet (1hour 10 min)
The courtyard of Queen Berengaria museum : The white lady (5 min)

Between each of the seven sites, the journey is marked by fantasy… Chimeras, gargoyles, grylls and other magic lanterns which are reflected onto the building facades and cobblestone streets. While walking through monuments and facades, the public takes in the heritage of the old town, and crosses the Roman and medieval eras of the city's history.
