5 ~ 8 déc 2014 | lyo n | fetedeslumieres.lyon.fr Route 1: Dazzle on the Presqu’île Are you able to visit for just one evening? Plunge into a whirlwind of displays at Tête d’Or Park in the heart of the Presqu’île district and discover over twenty key Festival of Lights installations. Projections, light objects, live shows and interactive works will ensure an unforgettable evening! SOME ADVICE BEFORE YOU LEAVE: For cozy comfort at the Festival of Lights: as you can well imagine, it’s cold in winter in Lyon, and you’ll often have to stand in place. To cope with possible bad weather and cover lots of kilometers, forget about being a fashion plate: put on your earmuffs, parka, mittens and gloves and, above all, trade your high-heels for a pair of all-terrain boots! For a Festival of Lights without stress: prefer Sunday, December 7, and Monday, December 8, for an easier flow, especially if your children are with you on this excursion. For a traditional Festival of Lights: if you are a resident of Lyon, put candles in the windows of your home, your workplace and your school on Monday, December 8, to perpetuate this Lyon tradition. Remember : that this route may be crowded. If you have young children, avoid taking them along on Friday and Saturday evenings. During the entire Festival, leave your stroller at home and choose a baby backpack instead. Please feel free to pass on this advice to everyone who will be accompanying you on your exploration.
