Mont Saint-Michel

After a first phase that lasted six years lighting up the top part of the hill, culminated by the abbey, we arrive to the conclusion of the project that starts this month with the staging of the lighting of the rocky zone, situated at the bottom part. The same concept will be brought into reality based on two inspiration sources: the pyramidal shape of the Mont Saint Michel, from the earth to the sky, with its organised architecture as climbing up the hill, and overall, following the spirit of the Christian pilgrims, whose aim is the elevation to the divinity... The reading of the site is voluntarily organised from the view that the visitor has from the dock that brings him to the Mont Saint Michel. This reading gradually emphasizes the elements that compose the Mont, a design based on values, colours and driven light, which is intensified and vertically ordered towards the sky, it becomes whiter in accordance to the ascent of the hill. This unique monument that belongs to the Unesco's world heritage, finally acquires the deserved lighting since summer 2006.
