A Grandiose Nighttime Show in Central Brittany
The Son et Lumière de Bon-Repos is a nighttime historical show held every summer in front of the facade of the Abbey of Bon-Repos, a 12th-century Cistercian abbey nestled in the heart of inland Brittany. For over 35 years, this show has been recognized as one of the most beautiful sound and light shows in France.
350 Extras and a Monumental Set
The show mobilizes over 350 volunteer extras and 30 horsemen on an 8,000 m² stage, with carts, carriages, and farm animals. For two hours, spectators are immersed in a monumental historical fresco, driven by giant video projections on the abbey's facade, spectacular pyrotechnic effects, and an enchanting musical score.
The Story of Grand Thua
The show tells the story of Grand Thua, the soul of Bon-Repos, who awakens from a millennial sleep. The characters embark on a quest through the ages, transported from one universe to another, from one era to another, retracing the tumultuous history of the abbey and Brittany.
A Living Heritage
The Abbey of Bon-Repos, founded in 1184, offers an exceptional setting for this show. The two-hectare site becomes the theater of a collective adventure where volunteers and professionals gather each year to bring this heritage to life through the art of live performance.
