The Luminous Odyssey

As the winter nights set in, the Parc Floral de Paris transforms into a vast landscape of illusions and lights. For its 4th edition, L’Odyssée Lumineuse unveils a completely revamped route featuring monumental lanterns, immersive settings and scenes inspired by traditions from around the world. As you stroll along the path, India, Mexico and Thailand come to life through spectacular creations that invite young and old alike to explore faraway imaginaries.

From the Northern Lights to a magical display on the water

Among the new features of this year’s event, the Féerie des Fontaines Lumineuses takes over the lake at the Parc Floral. Water features, reflections and lighting effects combine to create an enchanting scene that is one of the highlights of the visit. Further on, astonishing Northern Lights seem to dance across the night sky, recreating the fascinating atmosphere of these natural phenomena observed in the far reaches of the Far North.

The poetry of light and shadow

As night falls, the magic continues with a shadow puppet show devised by The Black Finger theatre company. Animated silhouettes, light effects and visual storytelling bring to life a delicate world, in perfect harmony with the spirit of the trail. Combining wonder, cultural discovery and artistic creation, L’Odyssée Lumineuse offers you a poetic interlude to share with your family over the festive season.
