Activities during the White Night past year

There is an app ‘Personal dreamer’ for both Android and IOS with all the programme of the White Night. (Looks like this year is not updated)

The app will tag on a map the location of the events during this special night. The app is official and will make you easier to get there and categorize the different events and activities.

Among the many activities we can recommend some of them for you to get an idea of what you will find…but because of the great number of activities we recommend you to visit the historic centre from 7 pm until 1 am to find the special environment.

The theme is related to the discovery of other countries, their culture and monuments. The museums and activities repeat this year and some adapt to this new theme of the White Night.
