Every year, the Jardin des Plantes Festival of Lights presents a nocturnal light walk in homage to nature! Gigantic statues of animals and plants illuminated at dusk take over the site.

See you from November 22, 2023 to January 21, 2024.

The Jardin des Plantes Lantern Festival will be held for the 5th time this winter (2023-2024). This luminous stroll, a great success in the run-up to the festive season, has become a must!

As you can imagine, this colorful nocturnal stroll is set to take us on a voyage of discovery. This immersion in the heart of the jungle is designed to help us discover the workings of a surprising ecosystem, and to better understand the importance of the different species and the fragile balance of this nature that we owe it to ourselves to preserve. We are promised luminous sculptures featuring "characteristic, spectacular or unusual species: fearsome felines, surprising chameleons, giant flowers and other marvels...".
