Sublime Maeves at the Saint-Denys-du-Saint-Sacrement Church
By Clara Tournay

Saint-Denys-du-Saint-Sacrement Church
From 8 p.m. to midnight

The Maeves are pendant lights that reflect light and create plays of colors and shadows. These works resonate with the environment, inhabiting space in a subtle play of appearance and disappearance. Clara Tournay's creative process is based on glass art techniques, such as blowing and thermoforming. The iridescent reflections created by these contemporary stained glass windows, like drops, will be carried by the soft voice and music of Léa Petges in order to inspire meditation and deep spirituality.{113 }

Eclipse at the Saint-Gervais Church
by Romain Lalire

Saint-Gervais Church
From 8 p.m. to midnight

Éclipse is a luminous anamorphosis that invites meditation and dreams. Romain Lalire creates an immersive experience where light and sound combine to transform the sacred space into a place of contemplation and reflection. Immersed in the darkness of the Saint-Gervais Church, Romain Lalire's installation offers a striking spectacle where eight halos of light levitate, creating a supernatural atmosphere. Haunting, solemn music fills the space, echoing off the ancient walls and adding a mystical dimension to the experience. These luminous halos, suspended like ethereal mists, seem to open doors to invisible dimensions, located at the limits of our perception. An anamorphic work, at the heart of which we are invited to move to find our own perspective, thus plunging into a waking dream universe.
