Flux, une partition de lumières is a night-time event in which the Aqueduc des Arceaux in Montpellier becomes the setting for a light show. The lights are paired with music, and that music takes shape live in front of the audience, so the evening unfolds as a performance rather than a fixed display.
Where it takes place
The show is held at the Aqueduc des Arceaux, in the Les Arceaux area of Montpellier, in the Occitania region of southern France. The venue is an old aqueduct, and seeing its arches lit against the evening sky is a large part of what makes the visit distinctive.
When to go
The event runs each evening from 12 to 14 November 2026, between 18:30 and 22:30. Because it is a short run of three evenings, it suits a planned trip to the city in mid-November rather than a casual passing visit.
What to expect
- A light show projected across the aqueduct itself
- Music that is built live, so each evening can feel different from the last
- A free-standing evening outing that works well after dinner
Visitors interested in the wider city will find Les Arceaux a pleasant area for a stroll before or after the show, with the centre of Montpellier close by. Coming early gives time to look at the aqueduct in daylight and to choose a spot before the audience gathers.
