Les Baux-de-Provence: Carrières des Lumières admission ticket

This year, the Carrières des Lumières are honoring two French painters with two immersive exhibitions.

The first, devoted to the famous Impressionist painter Claude Monet, showcases his greatest masterpieces. In this retrospective, you'll discover a whole new perspective on his lifelike compositions and luminous palette.
Claude Monet found his inspiration in 19th-century Paris, which was full of transformations and innovations.
His works also bear witness to his love of nature: the banks of the Seine, the shores of the Mediterranean, the Normandy countryside... and his idyllic garden at Giverny, a veritable open-air laboratory from which many of his works emerged.
Europe, from London to Italy, was also a great source of inspiration for Claude Monet.
You'll also get a glimpse of his collection of Japanese prints, of which he was a great enthusiast.

The second exhibition takes you into the world of naïve art by Henri Rousseau, also known as "Le Douanier Rousseau". His dreamlike, sometimes childlike works come to life on the rock faces of the Carrières des Lumières.
Henri Rousseau was a self-taught painter who never left France, but escaped thanks to the Jardin des Plantes in Paris.
You'll discover 19th-century Paris through his unique eyes, as well as flowery landscapes and imaginary jungles populated by wild animals.

His poetic universe, which will appeal to young and old alike, is a true invitation to dream and escape!
