Launch of the Champs-Elysees Christmas lights in Paris

The public is invited to attend this major event of the end-of-year celebrations in Paris. The illuminations will take place every evening from 5pm until the beginning of January. 

On November 16, the kickoff will be given by French actress Léa Seydoux, patron of the 2025-2026 edition, and Canadian singer Charlotte Cardin, who will perform for the occasion. The Champs-Elysees avenue lights up for Christmas, a ritual of the holiday season and Parisian tourism established in 1980.
