Happy the residents of the cathedral, the Saint-Pierre church, the banks of the Eure and the main monuments of Chartres: from Saturday April 10, 2021, they will be the only ones able to discover the new edition of Chartres en lumière , which will continue until the end of the year celebrations.
Why launch Chartres en lumière despite the curfew?
The municipality has decided not to wait for the end of the confinement and the curfew to launch this flagship event, which began in July last year, because of the health crisis.
A look back at the first evening of Chartres en lumière 2020
“We did not want to be in the dark, explains Laurent Lhuillery, city councilor responsible for city animation and events policy. Chartres is a dynamic and lively city. Life goes on despite the Covid. “
The first weeks, the scenographies will nevertheless be projected without a soundtrack since the public will not be able to attend.
What are the news for 2021?
In 2020, a new scenography had been created for the Saint-Pierre church and the public had come to admire it. The City decided to encourage him to continue the walk in the lower town thanks to new illuminations on the bridges and washhouses of the Eure.
What cultural and sporting events are hoped for in Eure-et-Loir in 2021?
“We are going to try to travel around the world from the Saint-André collegiate church and up to the Saint-Pierre church,” Laurent Lhuillery presents. On this kind of event, the difficulty is to renew oneself. We have chosen a very fun activity for children. There will be crocodiles, giraffes, snakes… We take the risk of breaking the codes compared to what we are used to doing. “
How long will Chartres en lumière last?
Like last year, the event will continue until the end of the year celebrations to allow a more family audience to admire the scenographies without staying up too late. Those of the lower town will be different from those that we will be able to discover this spring: a more dynamic show on the theme of Christmas, which should delight young and old children.
The city of Chartres dresses up in light for the end of the year celebrations
Will the festival of light take place in 2021?
Laurent Lhuillery confides that he works there but everything will depend on the health situation since the party generally attracts more than 50,000 people that evening.
“It will be the icing on the cake,” he says. We are working on an event more important than the past years, which will allow us to show different things. “
Convenient. Chartres en lumière, until January 1, 2022, from nightfall. Details of the illuminations and map on the Chartres en lumière mobile app or the Chartres en lumière website
