Story
https://novalumina.bourgdepabos.com/en//#storyThey say that stars hold the secret of the universe and memory of the world.
Here in Chandler, the stars gather above the old train bridge, at the mouth of the Grand Pabos rivers where land meets water and sky. Each night they reveal a luminous spectacle that glitters with wondrous depth and beauty. Travelers come from around the world to gaze up at their clusters and constellations.
But recently, for reasons unknown, the stars have begun to fall. They rain over the area, washing ashore weakened and barely aglow.
By the shore, stars lay scattered. Each awaits the arrival of a pilgrim to carry it on a journey back to the night sky.
Nova Lumina is a 1.5 km sea side night walk. Visitors explore the trail at their own pace. The experience lasts approximately 60 minutes.
