Carrières de Lumières
A 10-min. stroll downhill from Les Baux, this awe-inspiring temporary exhibition space occupies the site of a former limestone quarry. It’s here that images of modern artworks (such as audiovisual exhibitions dedicated to Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh, or Gauguin) are projected against the 7m to 9m (23- to 30-ft.) columns. The museum’s Cubist-style entrance featured in Jean Cocteau’s final film, “The Testament of Orpheus.” An inspiring and interactive introduction to the artistic legacy of the South of France. A combined ticket offers a discount to this venue and the Château des Baux.
