As mentioned, it is the weekend of la fête des lumières when the world descends on Lyon for its annual light festival.

Because it’s packed and raining we decided not to brave the crowds at the biggest venues.
But we still managed to see a couple of installations.

This one is called Sign. Un brasier sur l’eau. it is supposed to be a fire of joy.


It is called Asklipion – after the Greek god of medicine. It is meant to evoke the healing power of plants.
