Set off this Sunday at 4:45 PM from the foot of the Arc de Triomphe, where the first twinkling lights will already give the impression of a giant Christmas tree on wheels. The parade will take a secure route of about 7 km, winding through the illuminated streets of the Ecusson before arriving at the Esplanade Charles-de-Gaulle, near the tourist office.

But the real surprise is the unique passage through the bike lane created in the old Comédie tunnel. This tunnel, once reserved for cars (not exactly glamorous), has now been transformed into a gentle pathway that runs through the center in just two minutes. It's the kind of futuristic and poetic path that makes you want to ride even faster… just for the fun of it.
A festive yet purposeful parade
Vélocité reminds us: this event is here to celebrate, but also to encourage everyone to ride well-lit in the winter because seeing and being seen is a fantastic gift for your own safety. The cherry on top: a free raffle will give you a chance to walk away with high-quality lighting kits. Perfect for keeping the magic alive during everyday rides!
