Animation Renaissance Amboise : 450 volunteers helping to produce an outstanding show !

In 1976, a young woman living in Amboise, regretful that the Château had lost its liveliness, launched the idea of a night-time spectacular with real-life characters, that would be created and performed by the people of Amboise. She was soon joined by a whole team of enthusiasts who rapidly got down to work.

And that is how the Association Animation Renaissance Amboise (A.R.A) came into existence and put on its first show "A la Cour du Roy François"

Since then, every year, 450 volunteers help to produce an amazing summer event that constitutes a veritable regional development project, held in a unique spot of Touraine province and which bears witness in remarkable fashion to the historic past of a castle renowned the world over !

Via its numerous workshops set up to cater to the needs of the show, the ARA not only handles the designing and production of costumes, props and sets, but also the technical and logistical support. Right up to the last minute when all the hard work pays off, for on performance nights there is the most amazing atmosphere as women, men and children transport spectactors 500 years back in time to the rythm of breathtaking scenography.

As a new era begins for A.R.A, be ready for a high-powered experience of unparallelled visual effects
