Once again, the Collège des Bernardins takes part in the White Night and we are simply delighted! We must say that the building, from 1248 is based on the architectural model of Cistercian abbeys.

This establishment – current link between the Church and the contemporary society – welcomes the Faculté de théologie de l’Ecole Cathédrale [School of Theology of the Cathedral School] and hosts public events such as debates, exhibitions and concerts in a splendid setting: a magnificent nave covering 70m long, and 14m wide, and circa 6m high.

After a proposition from Stéphane Perraud taking us to a forest back in 2019, the place offers us 13 electro music classics from the 1950's to the 1980's, to listen while roaming around the place:

• Edgard Varèse (1883-1965)
  Poème électronique (1957-1958)
