Les Nuits des Lumières: free video mapping show on the Argenteuil basilica (95)

The Saint-Denys Basilica in Argenteuil( Val-d'Oise, 95) is set for a dazzling metamorphosis - and it's no mirage! From April 20 to May 11, 2025, from 9:45pm to 11:30pm, the Les Nuits des Lumières show will transform the neo-Romanesque facade of this historic monument into a giant screen ofanimated light. This video mapping show, organized as part of the Ostension of the Holy Tunic - a precious relic preserved in the church - promises an unprecedented visual immersion!

At the helm of this exceptional performance, four international artists - Pierre Pirate, Felix Frank, Candela 550 and Jérémy Oury - combine digital art and technological innovation to reinvent the architecture of the 19th-century basilica through a dazzling prism. Light becomes language, sculpting the building's stones to tell a story in which the past blends with the future in a mesmerizing visual ballet.
