Tintin, Haddock, Dupond and Dupont, Professor Calculus or Castafiore… Not one of Hergé’s characters is missing to come to life on the limestone walls of the Carrières des Lumières in Baux-de-Provence.
Alternating with the other exhibition “From Vermeer to Van Gogh”, “Tintin, the immersive adventure” will be screened every afternoon during school holidays (until May 1), then Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays the rest of the year.
A major tourist asset for this region of the Alpilles: before the Covid, 76,000 visitors had flocked to these rock-cut quarries and 625,000 last year. “This is the first time that we have offered a double alternating exhibition,” notes Étienne Duvic, the director of Carrières who worked in partnership with Tintinimaginatio (ex-Moulinsart), which holds the rights to the powder puff reporter. “Even if we generally have a family audience, here it’s really from 7 to 77 years old. »
“The only raw material we used is the original Hergé boards in very high quality, continues Nicolas Charlin, digital manager. All albums are represented in a new eight-chapter storyline. “This place full of mystery is perfect for bringing to life the adventures of Tintin, which is part of our pop culture, appreciates Yves February, digital manager of Tintinimaginatio. Much of Hergé’s personal discography was also used as a soundtrack. »
While the first visitors flocked this Saturday, the first impressions were excellent. “I’ve been a fan since childhood, and we find exactly the atmosphere of the albums”, testifies Nicolas, who came from Marseille with his family.
