Lyon Festival of Lights 法国里昂灯光节是法国里昂市的一个宗教节日，每年12月8日开始，一般持续4天。灯光节是里昂最大的城市盛会之一，也是里昂人文精神的体现。

灯光节时，里昂的每户居民都会在自家窗户外摆放点着的蜡烛，以营造满街烛光的效果。同时，城中的宗教场所或一些公共场所也会摆放蜡烛。其中最有名的地点包括富维耶圣母院和沃土广场。每年有超过四百万游客来到里昂观赏灯光节。

The Festival of Lights in Lyon, France (or Fête des Lumières) kicked off on December 6th bringing with it dazzling light displays by artists from around the world. Every year we ask the artists to propose their concepts based on locations, explained Jean-François Zurawik, General coordinator of the festival to Euronews. We ask them to use the city as a huge backdrop, and to make proposals for parks, buildings, theaters, town hall, etc, he said.

By the end of it, between three and four million visitors are expected to have walked around the French city to see the highly impressive light installations, which this year include 80 works by 120 designers (this was whittled down from 300 proposals). After looking through all of them, here are some of the most surreal installations you can expect to find. They include a forest filled with swarm of red lanterns and a lake sprinkled with lit lotus blossoms, both by Chinese artist Li Ll.
