La Nuit des Chimères

2025 Edition — New Faces

The 2025 edition of La Nuit des Chimères opened its doors on July 3 with a launch evening marked by a drone show, before unfolding every night until September 21.

Philippe Écharoux's Projections

Street artist Philippe Écharoux renewed his portrait gallery by projecting 25 faces of young people from Le Mans aged 6 to 24, including local athletes and musicians. These portraits, nestled in the trees and on the facades of the Plantagenet City, created a poetic dialogue between youth and heritage.

The Illuminated Wall

At the foot of the Plantagenet City, the Gallo-Roman wall once again hosted the projections of Nicolas Boutruche, this year dedicated to La Fontaine's Fables and The Little Prince.
