There is always something to do in France. This time, we are highlighting an event for which you might want to plan a visit to Paris: les parcours lumineux.

If you are in Paris in December, you already know that you can marvel at the Christmas decorations. For instance, the lights along the Avenue des Champs-Élysées and the beautifully illuminated Place Vendôme, Avenue Montaigne, and Bercy Village. Of course, you should not miss the major department stores to immerse yourself in the Christmas atmosphere, such as Galeries Lafayette, le Bon Marché, and La Samaritaine. Above all, do not forget the enormous Christmas tree in Les Halles.

Did you know that extraordinary light installations can be admired in various parks? In the Jardin des Plantes, for example, you can view a magical world of light art. During the day, entry is free, but an admission fee is charged in the evening. Breathtaking light installations can also be admired in Parc Floral, Jardin d’Acclimatation, and Parc de la Villette.
