The city of Rouen is preparing to once again host one of the most anticipated events of the summer: the cathedral's sound and light show. This year, two themes were chosen for the projections: “New worlds”, which traces maritime conquests, and “Rendezvous with light”. This free show, which attracts thousands of visitors each year, takes place on the facade of the cathedral, the highest in France, offering a grandiose and magical spectacle.

The city of Rouen has, over the years, been able to modernize the technical system to offer optimal visual quality. Thus, the number of projectors increased from 10 to 17 to improve readability and obtain a finer line. Spectators are thus transported into a world of magic and poetry, where the facade of the cathedral comes to life in the darkness.

If many similar events have developed in France in recent years, the one in Rouen is one of the pioneers of its kind. Every summer, it is a real ritual for residents and visitors to the city to meet on the cathedral square once the sun has set to enjoy this unique spectacle of its kind. An experience not to be missed for lovers of culture and history.

In short, the sound and light show at Rouen Cathedral is an unmissable summer event that attracts thousands of visitors each year. Thanks to constant modernization of the technical system, the visual quality is optimal and offers a magical and poetic moment to spectators. Whether you are residents of Rouen or visitors passing through, don't miss this encounter with history and culture.
