170 years of lights
The Fête des Lumières probably is the most iconic celebration in Lyon.
Since 1852 and the first candles the locals put along their windowsills, this event has been enriching. Its actual form is an international festival about the lights with several million people coming to Lyon every year.
With all due respect to Paris, now Lyon is the city of lights ! Lyon’s know how about public illumination needs no further proof, the city has been shining all over the world through many buildings lit up by Lyonnais firms (Petronas towers in Kuala Lumpur, Ermitage Museum, Oriental Pearl Tower of Shanghai…), and even a bachelor’s degree in public illumination in the Lyon university.
During 4 days, Lyon lives at the pace of the light and celebrates this element over several nights of public illuminations : landmarks, streets, facades of churches, river banks and parks.
