From February 21, 2025

Travel back in time as you follow in the footsteps of the pharaohs of ancient Egypt at the Bassins des Lumières in Bordeaux!

Discover the history of a civilization with a fascinating mythology as you stroll through the temples with their majestic colonnades. Brightly colored frescoes tell the story of a universe shaped by the natural elements, embodied by gods and goddesses.

Under the enigmatic gaze of the Sphinx, witness the construction of the legendary and colossal pyramids of Giza. Carried along by a captivating soundtrack, follow the course of the Nile, a sacred river whose waters transform into a flow of gold. Jewels, each more dazzling than the last, sparkle and draw you to the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens. From Tutankhamun to Nefertari, via Ramses I, admire the monumental sculptures of the rulers who shaped ancient Egypt for over three millennia.

But already, the present is calling you back, among the remains of the recently discovered sunken city of Thonis-Heracleion. Proof that ancient Egypt still holds many treasures to be explored...

A grandiose immersion where bas-reliefs, paintings and architectural wonders tell the story of a people who never cease to fascinate us!

Dès les premières projections, nous nous sommes crus en Égypte. Au cœur des pyramides, enveloppés par une atmosphère mystique

Marie

C’est une expérience sensorielle plus qu’une exposition. L’immersion est totale et la présence de l’eau ajoute une touche poétique
