As Christmas approaches, Paris is decked out in a thousand lights. It's the perfect time for a family outing. Between the window displays and the illuminations, discover the festivals of lights that are once again taking over the Île-de-France region this autumn and for the winter of 2024-2025. A great program of outings with or without the kids, on weekends or during the Christmas vacations and even before.
But what is a festival of lights? It's a magical event that takes place at dusk. It's an enchanted stroll through colorfullight installations, often accompanied by music, for an even more immersive experience! You'll stroll through magical, astonishing trails, sometimes in the aquatic world, sometimes discovering the world of insects, transformed into giants for the occasion. Between light shows, projections and animated modules, let yourself be transported, for an evening, into another shimmering universe. Whatever the case, there's something to make the eyes of children and adults alike sparkle.
So, would you like to join in the fun? Here are the next festivals and events to look out for!
