In Paris, don’t miss a large-scale sound and light exhibition paying tribute to the “Little Prince”, the world’s most translated book.
300 million copies sold, 600 official translated versions, thousands of press articles devoted to the book and its author… Until the end of August 2025, exactly eighty-one years and one month after Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s disappearance in the Mediterranean, an immersive exhibition offers a chance to relive the saga of the man who went from being known as the “Little Man” to the “Little Prince”. It’s taking place at the Atelier des Lumières, a digital art center in the heart of the capital’s 11th arrondissement.
Under the artistic direction of Nicolas Charlin, who previously worked at the Carrières des Lumières – an “annex” of the Ateliers des Lumières in Baux-de-Provence (Bouches-du-Rhône) – the event will bring to life the words and watercolors of author-aviator-adventurer St-Ex, as visitors follow a narrative journey that will envelop them.
In a 3,300 m2 space, starting from asteroid B612, travel through the stars, planets, universes and enchanting settings of the novel, and meet the characters who made its legend: the fox, the rose, the king, the snake, the lamb… All accompanied by a poetic (and spatialized) soundtrack that will delight young (princesses and princes) and old (children!) alike.
Exhibition. “The Little Prince”, an immersive Odyssey. Tuesday to Sunday, until August 31, 2025. Duration: 50 minutes. Atelier des Lumières, 38 rue Saint-Maur, 75011 Paris.
