Chroma, a colourful show that lights up Notre-Dame

The "Chroma, the monumental experience" show sublimates the façade of the cathedral every summer evening, from July to September, and during the Christmas market.

At nightfall, this extraordinary show brings to life the saints, apostles and other figures frozen on the Cathedral, thanks to a colourful projection of high definition digital images.

The sequence of scenes places colour as the common thread of an immersive experience at the heart of a contemporary staging. From the blue, evoking the Waidiers merchants who contributed to the financing of the monument, to a new animated rendition of the polychromy, the high point of this journey through time, the Cathedral, in turn luminous and mysterious, continues to fascinate.

CHROMA,
THE INTIMATE EXPERIENCE

During the summer, discover an intimate experience in the heart of a forest of light in the listed Parc de l'Evêché. Where monumental mapping gives way to participatory, human-scale installations, where the great history of the Cathedral gives way to the more unexpected story of the little chimerical people who inhabit it, where reality fades into the background for an invitation to a dreamlike journey.
