Lyon · Every December
Fête des Lumières
Four December nights when every facade in Lyon becomes a light installation and windows fill with candles.
58 days until the next window
What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Lyon for December 4 to 10, 2026, round trips of 2 to 4 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- The Thursday and Friday evenings are far less crowded than the weekend; the same works run every night.
- Book a room months ahead; the city is full and the last metro is extended but packed.
- Lyon airport is 30 minutes to Part-Dieu station by tram express; the festival centre is a short metro ride from there.
