Since the 17th century, the Festival of Lights in Lyon has been closely linked to the city’s religious history.

The inauguration was postponed to December 8th, Immaculate Conception Day. That December evening, the people of Lyon spontaneously put lights in their windows, and the Festival of Lights was born!
