In the city of Lyon there is a wonderful Festival Of Lights. It is called La Fête des Lumières. It is a four day festival, starting on 5 December and finishing on 8 December.
Why does it take place on these dates?
In France, the 8 December is a celebration in honour of the The Virgin Mary.
In Lyon, during this festival, everyone places candles on their window sills. The buildings are lit up with coloured lights and the streets are decorated with illuminations.
