Since 2021, the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud has organized “Les Étoiles de Fontevraud”, a nocturnal tour highlighting its heritage and history. For this new edition in 2024, Novelty was once again asked to amplify the immersive experience combining light and sound. The aim was to highlight the architecture of Europe’s largest monastic complex through an artistic and technological approach.
