On November 28th, ten children have unclenched the magic fire of the capital of Luberon by pressing on the button. The Blachère Company and the City of Aptwhich saw him it being born and prospering, got to create this exceptional event which transformed the small town of Vaucluse into a sort of laboratory of festive illuminations in urban environment until January 15th.
The company illustrates so concretely its formula " rooted in the premises and developed in the global ". Brilliant motives make, indeed, link between the premises and the global, between the country of Apt and the big metropolises. The trees of squares were treated those of the Champs Elysees to receive brilliant snowfalls, flakes of light. Big street found its prestige of formers days with chandeliers “habsbourgeois” of the historic centre of Vienna. The column of Bouquerie is dressed in an electronic and modern coat at the same moment as Westfield in London, the biggest European shopping center.
This operation answers the will of the two partners to participate in the durable development, global requirement, because brilliant systems with leads allow to save 90 % of the energy used with the traditional lamps. This operation joins in the process of territorial development - local will, indeed, we put a label on the country of Apt as pole of rural excellence with for subject " colours lights, colours materials ".
