Though the village is no longer active, it still remains an attraction for tourists who want to see the ruins of the castle and the beautiful vistas. Carrieres de Lumieres is the most unusual site to experience here.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s actually a quarry, where the locals used to extract limestone for the construction of a nearby chateau and Les Baux. Presently, huge images of works of art are projected onto the walls, ceiling and floors, accompanied by music.<\/p>\n<p>AMA Waterways Provence River Cruise offers an exciting excursion to the Carrieres de Lumieres, located in the caves of the old quarry. The term Carrieres de Lumieres refers to the ever-present role of light here.<\/p>\n<h2>Make Cave Exploring Real<\/h2>\n<p>An innovative and ambitious project is being organized in order to give this man-made site a new focus. There are four main aspects of the project:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A new program of cultural events is proposed on the theme of the \u201cHistory of Art\u201d in the Carri\u00e8res rooms and galleries with audio visual shows, live shows, concerts, lectures, and more. The aim of the program is to make \u2018Carri\u00e8res de Lumi\u00e8res\u2019 a cultural hub for multiple events. It will be offering one big new show every year, profiling the greatest names in the history of art.<\/li>\n<li>A new and quite captivating event has the Carri\u00e8res quarries gradually lighting up, highlighting the unique nature of the site between each show. No wonder, the spectators all praise the mineral beauty of the site.<\/li>\n<li>New high-performance technological equipment is being procured for this outstanding audio visual show. Each area of the Carri\u00e8res invites visitors on an extraordinary audio visual journey made possible by cutting-edge technological equipment and methods developed by Culturespaces and its multimedia partners, which includes 70 video projectors, 3D audio adapted to the specific characteristics of the site, etc.<\/li>\n<li>More surfaces are to be used in the show to give it a bigger platform and extend this artistic journey.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Visitors are totally spellbound and get immersed in the images projected onto all the surfaces of the rock. Now, twice the number of video projectors is being used in order to cover twice the wall area. The completely covered ground itself becomes a huge carpet of images.<\/p>\n<p>An upcoming new show will continue until January 5, 2014, titled Monet, Renoir \u2026 Chagall &#8211; Journeys Around the Mediterranean.\u00a0 Europeanbarging.com\u00a0\u00a0 888-869-7907<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Visit the Caves of Carrieres de Lumieres on a AMA Waterways River Cruise Carrieres de Lumieres is located in the ancient village of Les Baux, which sits atop a rocky plateau overlooking the Alpilles in Provence, France.
