Tende Commedia Dellarte Remy Masseglia13 RotatedInspired by Bérangère Cournut’s Nuit d’Or, the story of a baroque church that comes to life in the moonlight, Hervé di Rosa has created a larger-than-life fresco: a madcap yet magical altarpiece. The Normaal company has turned the altarpiece into a 4 minute film that children will love as much as their parents. See it for yourself in the Menton, Riviera & Merveilles destination’s buildings!
The Facim Foundation asked the organ player and composer Jean-Baptiste Robin to put his own spin on baroque music to create a people-friendly piece performed and recorded by the Orchestre des Pays de Savoie. Ten minutes of baroque emotion in the local baroque buildings!
The Baroque Adventures in the French Riviera are part of the inter-valley and inter-regional project Baroque Adventures in the Alps, led by the Facim Foundation, which brings together the territories of the Pays du Mont-Blanc, the Hautes Vallées de Savoie and the French Riviera.
Calling all teenagers: pick up your digital backpack and keep your smartphone handy to explore the baroque world. The app designed by British artist David Michael Clarke enables players to collect baroque heritage features along a specific trail. It’s off-the-wall and good fun! Two trails: Tarentaise and the Roya Valley. The digital trail is available on paper for younger children.
On foot, by bike, by bus, for a day, stay or outing, the Baroque Adventures will sate your appetite for experiencing the unexpected. A diverse and original range of one-of-a-kind baroque experiences!
Storm Alex hit our area hard on 2nd October in 2020. Please note that access to some Roya Valley towns and villages has been seriously affected.
