During the Christmas season, the City of Light shines with a thousand lights, making its neighborhoods and emblematic streets sparkle. The 8th arrondissement is no exception to tradition, and this year launches the Faubourg Saint Honoré illuminations, on November 16, 2023 from 6pm. Organized by the Comité du Faubourg Saint Honoré, this magical, not-to-be-missed evening will be accompanied by the opening of the now-famous Winter Time tombola, in aid of the Les Rois du Monde charity.
For this latest edition, French actress Elodie Fontan and theatrical figure Philippe Lellouche, the association's godparents, will kick off the 2023 Christmas illuminations. One last prestigious guest, and not the least, will add sparkle to the event: international actress and singer Christina Milian!
From 6pm, the neighborhood will come alive with the majestic Chezy brass band performing traditional songs, followed by the parade of the Garde Républicaine. A magical parade that will once again delight young and old alike. The inauguration ceremony will take place at 7pm on the corner of rue Royale and rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré. The presidents of the committee and the association, surrounded by their godparents, as well as a number of public figures, will launch the Christmas lights together!
New this year, you'll be able to discover the very latest decorations for the district, giant, eco-responsible structures (low-energy LEDs, recyclable decor...). A luminous stroll to be enjoyed to the sound of one of FG radio's famous DJs, from 6pm to 8pm.
Regulars and the curious will also be delighted to find the famous and very chic charity tombola, which will punctuate the festive season. From November 16, 2023, the Winter Time Paris website will offer tickets for just €10, giving you the chance to win exceptional prizes donated by the Maisons du Comité du Faubourg Saint Honoré. All proceeds will be donated to the Les Rois du Monde association, , which provides financial, material, cultural and entertainment assistance to needy, orphaned and hospitalized children.
Don't miss the kick-off of the 2023 Faubourg Saint Honoré Christmas illuminations, a magical evening open to all! Then, on November 19, take the opportunity to stroll down to the Champs-Élysées and discover the Champs-Élysées illuminations.
