NIGHT OF MUSEUMS
Sound effects, lights and a fantastic tale involve the visitor in the scented history of the XVII th century… between Beauvoir-en-Royans and Saint-Antoine-l’Abbaye… two sites and two places, with the province of Auvergne – where Melissa is still picked – as a backdrop. A night peregrination, an olfactory journey, a discovery of our heritage.
« DD and time treasures » by Eric Alfieri. In reference to the treasure of Saint-Antoine Abbey, Eric Alfieri’s choreography links up time and space through a dancing performance.

« Le Cœur d’amour épris » by Sylvie Delom and Eliane Brocca-Astori.
Since Antiquity, treasures have been poised between two worlds, material and immaterial. They relate to the tradition of ostentatious worship aimed at gaining the protection of a deity or a saint as well as enhancing the prestige of sanctuaries, church dignitaries or princes.
