L'Éveil, a Chromatic Journey is a night-time light show projected onto the facade of the Fabre Museum in Montpellier, in the Occitania region of southern France. Presented by Plug In Digital, it turns the museum's exterior into a moving canvas for a few evenings in November 2026.
What you will see
The show brings to life scenes inspired by video games created in Montpellier. Painted imagery drawn from these games unfolds across the building's facade, so that visitors can step, in a sense, into the worlds the projection suggests. The idea behind the show is to awaken the museum's front as the city settles into evening.
When and where
- Dates: 12 to 14 November 2026
- Venue: the facade of the Fabre Museum, Montpellier
- Part of: Cœur de Ville en Lumières 2026
Because the show is one of the events of Cœur de Ville en Lumières, it sits within a wider programme of lights across the historic centre. Visitors who come for L'Éveil can take in the surrounding streets and squares at the same time.
Planning your visit
The projection is staged outdoors, so it suits an evening stroll through the city centre. For details on the programme and how to get there, the official Montpellier city campaign page for Cœur de Ville en Lumières is the best place to check.
