Bassins des Lumières Immersive experiences blending art, music and projections in Bordeaux

Bassins des Lumières, an immersive family experience in Bordeaux

The Bassins des Lumières is the world's largest immersive center, offering truly unique immersive and sensory experiences for the whole family. Located in Bordeaux's former submarine base, this monumental venue transforms its walls and vast water basins into giant projection surfaces, bringing to life both the works of history's greatest artists and contemporary digital creations. It's an outing that appeals to children, captivated by the magic of light, as well as parents and grandparents looking for an original cultural activity in Bordeaux.

6 visitor areas designed for discovery and enjoyment

The venue unfolds across six distinct spaces, allowing both children and adults to experience the exhibition from very different perspectives. The walkways offer an immersive experience, bringing visitors up close to the projections, while the Cube is dedicated to contemporary digital creations. An educational area extends the experience and deepens the exploration of the artworks —a real bonus for families. On-site, you'll find a kiosk, a food truck, and a bookstore/gift shop. Allow approximately 1.5 to 2 hours for your visit to fully enjoy the experience.
