In Strasbourg, France, the annual summer projection mapping event started on Saturday, July 3, 2021, at the Strasbourg Cathedral (la place du château).
In a word, projection mapping in 2021 feels like a quiet stream of vivid images. However, the images are not flowing in a bland manner, and it gives a pleasant feeling.
Illuminations de la Cathédrale 2021 is different from previous years
In previous years, Illuminations had a 15-minute video, and after the projection mapping was over, there was a 15-minute break for the audience to change.
In 2021, there was no such break, and the same images were shown repeatedly.
I believe this change is part of the countermeasure against the transmission of the new coronavirus (COVID-19), a measure to prevent people from becoming dense.
During the video, especially right after the projection mapping started, I felt it was difficult to get into the video because people were walking towards the exit. But, well, I think it's an unavoidable measure.

La Cascade de la Presqu'île Malraux
At Presqu'île Malraux, the waterfall is illuminated. After seeing the projection mapping of the Strasbourg Cathedral, this waterfall is a little less impressive.
During the daylight hours, it is possible to get close to the waterfall by raft. Maybe it would be nice to cool off when the temperature is a little more summer-like 🥵
