6Lyon Festival of Lights & Christmas Market: A Dazzling Duo

Lyon becomes a radiant masterpiece in December thanks to the Fête des Lumières, one of the world’s most spectacular light festivals. While not a market in the traditional sense, the event overlaps with the city’s Christmas market at Place Carnot.

You can browse festive stalls, enjoy mulled wine, and then wander the city streets glowing with massive art installations, projections, and illuminated sculptures. The combination creates an otherworldly holiday experience unlike anywhere else in France.
