The church of Saint-Pierre, a former abbey church (11th and 13th centuries) is one of the most beautiful masterpieces of Gothic art. Very well preserved, the set of stained glass windows from the 13th and 14th centuries still illuminates the interior and makes it a remarkable building.
The church, classified as a historical monument, is equipped with a new 4-minute sound and light show. The video-mapping, imagined by Les Ateliers BK, stages the evolution of the light projected by the sun and then the moon on the facades of the building throughout the day, from the depths of the night to the first light of dawn. A meticulous work has been dedicated to the enhancement of the architectural details of this gothic monument, with the will to make it a “reliquary made of lights, shadows and colored nuances”. It also takes up the bias of the previous scenography, by combining the lighting of the stained glass windows from inside the church and the animation of the facade and the chevet from the outside.
