It is an unprecedented event in Europe. For the first time, the famous Dragons and Lanterns festival of the Yuyuan Garden in Shanghai is coming to Paris, finding its place in the beautiful Jardin d'Acclimatation next to La Défense. Until February 25th, you are invited to discover this enchanting spectacle, perfect for experiencing the magical atmosphere of Christmas that is delightfully settling in Paris these days.


Over 2,000 lanterns, up to 16 meters high 

During these two months, more than 2,000 lanterns will decorate the green alleys of the garden. Some form giant luminous structures that can reach 16 meters in height, like true works of art, created by dozens of skilled artisans from the Shanghai Yuyuan Garden, some of whom have traveled to Paris for several weeks. Each lantern was created, painted, and assembled on site. Hats off to the artist.
