"Q" is for Quarry

An old limestone quarry in the foothills of the Alpilles Mountains near Les Baux-de-Provence has found new life as Carrières de Lumières, a venue for high tech multi-media shows featuring the artworks of the world's greatest painters. Moving images are projected onto the floor, walls and ceiling of the quarry to the accompaniment of a musical soundtrack. The artists on display in 2018 are Picasso and the Spanish Masters.

      It was a very unique experience (and a great escape from the summer heat!).

      The Europeans really do make good use of their existing structures – much more interesting than a modern building.
