Rêves en lumière is a night-light show in Montpellier, in the Occitania region of southern France. It was created by the ESMA school and follows Iska, a small luminous being who looks for her place in the worlds of dreams.
The show is presented at the Triumphal Arch, on the Mur des écoles stage, from 12 to 14 November 2026. It forms part of Cœur de Ville en Lumières 2026, the city's winter light programme.
What to expect
- A light-based show told as a story, with Iska at its centre
- A setting at the Triumphal Arch, one of the city's most recognisable monuments
- A presentation across three evenings, on the Mur des écoles
Because the show is staged in the open at the Triumphal Arch, it suits an evening stroll through the centre of Montpellier. Visitors can also take in the rest of the city's light programme, which the official campaign page describes in more detail.
