Official festivals France

Every year, as the end of the year approaches, tourists and Parisians alike come to admire the Christmas illuminations, especially those on the Champs-Elysées. They brave the cold and stroll between Place de la Concorde and the Arc de Triomphe. The program features enchanting colors, luminous arches, multicolored bulbs, glowing flames and sparkling projections. The enchantment begins in November and lasts until early January.

November 19: charmed, flags, parade, fireworks…

On the esplanade of the chapel, an official ceremony pays tribute to the 14,246 American soldiers who bravely fought for France in 1914-1918 and are buried in the Romagne-sous-Montfaucon cemetery.

Every year, Dijon's museums dress up for the European Night of Museums, which celebrates its 20th anniversary.

In Albi, we don't skimp on the national holiday! The celebrations start around 6pm with the review of the troops by the Prefect, the rise of the colours and the military parade. Then follow a musical show, a torchlight retreat and a brass band. The highlight of these festivities was the fireworks display, renowned throughout the region. It is unveiled above the Berbie Palace, thirty minutes of wonder, sparkling rockets, multicoloured explosions, a show not to be missed!

Smart advice: to attend the show in good conditions, we advise you to settle down on the square near the Madeleine church, on the Old Bridge, the New Bridge or even near the Chemin de Gardès. Be careful, it is better to arrive before the kick-off, because the tickets are expensive!

On 25 March, this is the day of the Annunciation. The city of Arcachon offers the pretext for organising the city's employer's party every year.
