L’histoire fait remonter les origines de la fête des Lumières au 8 décembre 1852. Chaque année à cette même date, Lyon se transforme en Ville Lumière grâce aux milliers de lumignons que placent les habitants derrière leurs fenêtres. Si la fête dédiée initialement à Marie a perdu de sa dimension religieuse, elle est aujourd’hui fortement ancrée dans la vie de la Cité. Mise en lumière des berges du Rhône, celles de la Saône et les traboules, l'édition 2007 prévoit en outre la présence d'une quinzaine d'oeuvres d'art en centre ville ainsi que d'une quarantaine, plus intimistes, disseminées dans toute la Ville.

Through them you can unveil the life of a goat or, for the occasionally adventurous ones, of snails facing their predators. You can touch and smell the plants of Salève. A gathering full of flavours and poetry, of living animals and small contests which will allow you, if you are lucky, to win hampers of products from the region.
