★★★★★6 months agoWe went for the Luminescence show that happens in December - a wonderful display of lights, colours, and live choir music set in this wonderful building! If you get the chance, it's absolutely worth a visit in December, but book tickets for the show in advance!

★★★★★6 months agoImmersive Luminescence Show blended the use of modern technology to mesmerise with awe and wonder. Well worth a visit to hear the choir harmonies to perfectly match the brilliance and story-telling. Note that the story-telling is in French only.
