    • Looking for an unforgettable outing or activity in the Basque Country this summer? After captivating over a million viewers worldwide, LUMINISCENCE is coming to Bayonne for a unique immersive experience not to be missed.

      From May 22nd and throughout the summer of 2026, Bayonne's Sainte-Marie Cathedral will be transformed into a veritable jewel of light and history. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and an iconic stop on the Way of St. James (Camino de Santiago), it will host an immersive 360° sound and light show combining monumental video mapping, historical narration, and live music. A unique cultural and family outing in the heart of Bayonne's historic center, just a stone's throw from Biarritz.

      Guided by the voice of Anne Etchegoyen, an iconic figure of the Basque Country, spectators are immersed in several centuries of Bayonne legend projected onto the Gothic stones of the monument. From English rule to the pilgrims of Saint James, the history of Bayonne comes alive. Every weekend, the voices of the Bayonne Basque Country Choir resonate live beneath the majestic vaults, transforming each evening into a unique and moving experience.

      Whether you're with family, as a couple, or with friends, LUMINISCENCE is the must-see activity and flagship outing of summer 2026 in the Basque Country. A sensory, cultural, and heritage experience that reconciles history, video mapping, and musical emotion.
