LUMINISCENCE: New show in Reims, The Celestial Odyssey

As you may know, the Basilica of Reims had to temporarily close its doors due to a roofing issue while authorities conducted the necessary investigations. Repairs are now underway, and the reopening is imminent. LUMINISCENCE, The Celestial Odyssey will therefore reopen on June 20!

✨ 1,000,000 guests have already walked through our doors. Will you be next?! ✨

🌟 The 360° immersive show that blends history, video mapping, and live music is back in Reims at the Saint-Remi Basilica with a spectacular new creation: The Celestial Odyssey. 🌟
 

The Celestial Odyssey, the new 2026 show:
