Place Bellecour - Lyon Festival of Lights 2017

There is no big wheel illuminated this year in Place Bellecour.

The largest square in Lyon is transformed into a giant vegetable garden illuminated with Louis XIV as a gardener thanks to the collective TILT.

“It will be a place to meet again during the Festival of Lights. The atmosphere will be different and will change the rhythm of the festival”, Festival art director Jean-François Zurawik explains.
