I have a special Christmas treat for you today. Last week I went to Parc Saint Cloud to see Lumieres en Seine, a sensational new outdoor light show for Christmas.
Intrigued by posters in the metro for Lumieres en Seine during the last few weeks, I decided to check it out last Wednesday night.
It was easy to get there, I took the line 10 metro to the last stop Boulogne-Pont de Saint-Cloud and then walked over Pont St Cloud, which took about ten minutes.
I had been to Parc Saint Cloud only once before about 10 years ago, so I wasn’t very familiar with the layout.
The show runs through the entire park, which is 1.5 miles and much of it was hilly. It was like wandering through a magical forest and you never knew what was going to appear next. Since it was dark, there was a sense of mystery and at any moment I expected fairies or ghosts to show up. One minute I was walking through a pathway lined with stars and snowflakes hanging from the trees, the next in a mist of fog, the next in almost an infinity field of pin sized lights, and then a dramatic finale of colored lights emblazoned on an ancient, stone fountain.
In between were a number of pit stops that had food and beverage stalls plus there was a carousel.
Lumieres en Seine
Open every day until January 9 except December 24 and 31, 5pm to 11pm, last entrance 9:15pm.
