Lyon’s Fête des Lumières, festival of lights, returned this week. For the last few years I have filmed the exhibits and shared thefilmshere. This year I tried something a little different.
Heightened security had cancelled the festival last year; so 2016 saw a reduced three day schedule with more check points. I was relieved that the increased security did not diminish our experience.
This year I wanted show more of the crowds that flow through the city streets. The number of people moving around the centre is impressive.
Another festival of lights is over. We braved the cold and went out each evening to see a few exhibits in bite sized chunks. Unlike last year, our first festival, we did not try to see everything.
As always the exhibitions are stunning. Photos and footage can not do the event justice. The combination of cold, crowds, and spectacle is hard to beat.
