For a medieval French city, Sylvain Bigot dresses the Langeais Suspension Bridge in majestic blue light.

This article offers a look at the lighting design installed by Sylvain Bigot at the Langeais Suspension Bridge over the Loire River in France. The bridge connects the town of Langeais to the municipality of Chapelle-aux-Naux since 1849. Bigot used blue atmospheric lighting and bold shadows to highlight the bridge's form and texture. He won the job in May 2006, and realized the design six months later. To pick out the five decks suspended between the bridge's four reinforced-concrete towers, Bigot installed 150 blue, single-watt LEDs on the decks' sides.
