How long should I spend at Fabrique des Lumieres?

To fully appreciate the breathtaking visuals and sounds, we recommend allocating around 1.5 to 2 hours for your visit. This will give you enough time to experience the main exhibition, the shorter feature, and the chance to walk around and discover all the angles of the immersive projections without feeling rushed.

Frequently Asked Questions about Fabrique des Lumieres opening hours

Is Fabrique des Lumieres open on public holidays?

Yes, Fabrique des Lumieres is open on most public holidays, but it is closed on January 1 and December 25. It's always best to check the official website for any specific holiday schedules before your visit.

Are there night openings at Fabrique des Lumieres?

Yes, the venue offers extended evening hours on Fridays and Saturdays. The last admission is at 8pm, and the exhibition closes at 9pm. These night openings are a great option for a unique after-dinner activity.

What time is it least crowded?

The best time to visit with the fewest people is typically on weekday mornings, right when the venue opens, or in the late afternoons, about an hour or two before the last entry. The extended evening hours on Fridays and Saturdays can also be a good time to avoid the daytime crowds.

How does the exhibition schedule work?

Fabrique des Lumières often runs multiple exhibitions on the same day. For instance, there might be a shorter exhibition in the morning and a longer, main exhibition for the rest of the day. Your ticket will grant you access to the specific exhibition that is running during your time slot. A single visit usually lasts about one hour, and you can watch the loop of the exhibition multiple times if you like.

What happens if I arrive late for my time slot?

Your ticket has a specific time slot for entry, but you can typically enter up to 30 mins after the start of your reserved time. If you arrive later than that, you might not be allowed in. The exhibitions are continuous loops, so you won't miss anything permanently, but arriving on time ensures you can see the full cycle from the beginning.
