Every night during the summer months, the City of Le Puy puts on a luminary display its most important buildings: the Cathedral, Mount St. Michel, the Hôtel Dieu. At 10 p.m. when it is pitch dark, lights are cast upon these buildings. Here are a few shots of what the light show looks like on the Hôtel Dieu. After each performance, the audience claps with delighted approval. It's really a clever thing for the city to do!!
Incidentally, night time in the city is gorgeous among its cobblestoned medieval streets. Here are a couple examples at the intersection located at the foot of the Cathedral. I just LOVE medieval towns for their mystical quality!!
And here is a close-up of the statue of Notre Dame near the top of the Cathedral.
Beautiful pictures, Olga!
ReplyDeletemerci...it was hard to get these photos at night for the buildings that were further away, so I could only show the luminaries on the city hall.
