In Lyon, as the first snowflakes mingle with the city’s golden lights, the magic of Christmas slowly takes hold. Shop windows light up, Place Bellecour is decked out in garlands, and the air is filled with the scent of mulled wine and shared joy. To prolong this enchantment, Candlelight invites the people of Lyon to a timeless musical experience: concerts under the glow of thousands of candles, where Christmas melodies are enveloped in softness and light.
