Every year, this picturesque village lights up for an idyllic and magical evening. “Les Lueurs du temps” propels you into an unforgettable medieval, immersive and luminous experience. After the first evening on July 5, the town of Provins is once again opening the gates to its city, illuminated entirely by candlelight. A magical evening to be experienced only on Saturday, August 2.
A medieval city illuminated entirely by candlelight for a magical evening
Every summer, the magnificent town of Provins lights up the hearts of young and old alike during its exceptional “Les Lueurs du temps” evenings. On this occasion, the town will sparkle with a thousand lights, thanks to a myriad of candles scattered here and there along the centuries-old cobbled streets. The mythical Tour César will be illuminated by 700 candles: an unforgettable spectacle that will fill your eyes with stars.
But that’s not all! Throughout the evening, you’ll be able to enjoy a wide range of entertainment, some of which is free of charge. You’ll be able to enjoy live concerts of period music in the open air, juggling shows and medieval dances. You’ll hold your breath during equestrian shows, where horses and riders perform impressive stunts. A poetic pyrotechnic show that will keep you dreaming for a long time to come…
To complete your experience, we recommend that you book one of our torch-lit theatrical tours of the town, to discover Provins from a new angle and learn more about this historic city. Last but not least, it’s impossible not to visit the Roseraie de Provins after dark. This will turn your stroll into a romantic getaway, where you’ll discover a unique view of the town in this green, flower-filled setting.
Throughout the evening, you’ll be able to stroll freely through the alleyways, squares and illuminated restaurants. What’s more, there’ll be a free concert in the Place du Châtel. Plunge into the heart of a sweet medieval dream…
