Bordeaux’s Port de la Lune is home to a submarine base with a checkered past. Originally built during the German occupation of France in WWII, and later the target of allied bombings, this building has since attracted artists who wish to reclaim the site for beauty and culture. Its stark walls and history have served as a poignant backdrop to artistic installations for decades. On one evening, you’ll experience this for yourself at the Bassins des Lumières , a stunning and immersive light show projected against the walls of the base.
